How do I hang a heavy oil painting?

Large oil paintings on canvas with giltwood frames require secure wall fixings into masonry or studs. Heavy frames need robust picture wire and appropriate wall hooks. Ensure the hanging hardware matches the weight of the wooden stretcher and frame combination.

Are watercolours framed differently from oils?

Watercolours on paper require glass protection and mount boards to prevent the paper touching the glazing. Oil paintings on canvas are left unglazed to allow the paint surface to breathe. Frames for watercolours often use giltwood or simpler wood profiles suited to works on paper.

How do I distinguish an oil from a watercolour?

Oil paint sits with texture and thickness on top of a woven canvas support. Watercolour sinks into paper, creating transparent washes without heavy surface relief. Oils generally require no glass front, whereas watercolours must be glazed for protection.
