What subjects appear most often?

The listings feature highland landscapes, cattle near lochs, coastal views and rural croft scenes. Portraiture and botanical watercolours also emerge among the paintings.

How do I hang a heavy oil painting?

Large framed canvases require secure wall fixings anchored directly into masonry or wall studs. Ensure the hanging wire and D-rings on the wooden frame match the total weight of the artwork.

Can I place watercolours in direct sunlight?

Paper and watercolour pigments fade permanently when exposed to strong, direct ultraviolet light. Position these works away from south-facing windows and utilise glass with UV-filtering properties.

How do I distinguish an oil painting from a watercolour?

Oil paint sits on the surface with a tactile, reflective texture and requires canvas or wood panels. Watercolour absorbs directly into paper fibres and sits flat behind protective glass.
