How do I hang a heavy oil painting safely?

Secure your hanging hardware directly into wall studs or use appropriate wall anchors designed for heavy frames. Ensure the wire and hooks match the weight capacity of the artwork. Position the painting at eye level so the centre of the canvas rests roughly sixty inches from the floor. Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and damp environments to protect the canvas and paint.

What is the difference between oil and watercolour?

Oil paint utilises pigments bound in drying oils, allowing for thick textures, blended brushstrokes, and deep colour saturation over canvas or board. Watercolour uses water-soluble binders on paper to produce translucent, luminous washes. Oils require rigid supports like wood or stretched canvas, while watercolours need protection behind glass due to the delicate nature of paper.

How can I tell the period of a landscape?

Examine the materials, framing style, and stretcher construction on the reverse of the piece. Nineteenth-century works often feature hand-carved wooden frames and specific canvas stamps. Subject matter and brushwork also offer clues, as Victorian naturalism differs markedly from mid-century British abstraction or impressionist techniques.
