How do I care for an oil painting on canvas?

Keep the canvas away from direct sunlight and steady humidity levels to prevent warping and cracking of the oil paint. Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry brush. Avoid using moisture or chemical cleaners on the painted surface.

How do I distinguish watercolours from oil paintings?

Watercolours are painted on paper, often displayed behind glass to protect the delicate pigment from atmospheric damage. Oil paintings use heavy pigment on canvas or wood panels and have a textured surface. Watercolours rely on the white of the paper for luminosity, whereas oils use opaque layers.

Which periods do these artworks cover?

The pieces span from the late nineteenth century through the 1960s, encompassing nineteenth-century French schools, early twentieth-century views, and mid-century interpretations. Each period brings slight shifts in colour palette and brushwork while maintaining the impressionist focus on light.
