How should I display a canvas painting?

Canvas works require stable indoor environments away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to protect the paint layer. 挂 hanging them securely on interior walls ensures they remain safe from temperature fluctuations caused by heating systems.

What subjects are most common?

Common subjects include mountainous landscapes, Highland cattle grazing by lochs, sheep on hillsides and portraits of individuals in traditional dress. Artists also frequently painted game birds, sporting dogs and architectural landmarks such as castles.

How can I distinguish watercolours from oils?

Watercolours are painted on paper behind glass, displaying a thin, translucent quality where the paper grain often shows through. Oils utilise heavy pigments on canvas or wood panel, presenting a thicker surface texture with visible brushstrokes.
