Paintings & Prints

The quality of watercolor paints and paper have greatly improved over the years due to an increased understanding of technology and chemistry. The color pigments I use for my paintings are of highest quality by reputed brands like Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith, M. Graham, Holbein. I have personally checked each hue for its light fastness. The colors used are no more likely to fade than oil paints. I have used artist grade acid-free paper made from 100% rag fiber for all my paintings which can last forever if properly cared. I recommend that original paintings are framed with Conservation glass for protecting them from UV rays which will prevent it from any damage.

The inks used for Giclee printing are of the highest light-fast standards. The ink and paper combinations used meet the industrial light-fastness standards. You can consider using a Conservation Glass while framing your print if you think that it will face direct sunlight for several hours.

If your print will face direct sunlight for several hours a day then you may want to consider framing it with Conservation Glass. Conservation Glass blocks 97% of the UV rays and helps protect framed pieces, keeping the colors fresh for generations.

To minimize the damage to a painting or print you can..

1. keep your valuable pieces away from direct sunlight
2. keep them away from direct heat sources
3. cover the item in a frame to keep it as clean as possible. 
4. use an acid free mat to separate.
