Cleaning art - Oil, by Standard on Nov 27, 2016 16:16:51 GMT 1, Does anyone have any advice on how best to clean a painting? Thick oil on canvas, impasto. (Guy Denning piece)
I've noticed a piece which had some surface dust but it looks in places to be sticking/stubborn.

Cleaning art - Oil, by sinaj on Dec 1, 2016 8:18:31 GMT 1, Hi I'm a Paintings Conservator for a national musuem and would recommend you take the work to a qualified Paintings Conservator. Look on the ICON website.for one near you.
Dust and debris do tend to stick to paint surfaces especially if the paint film is new. The best preventative measure to protect your art is to glaze and backboard it. There is great non-reflective glazing available now. Be very careful with the paint surface as depending on the the type of oil paint, the paint could be solvent or water sensitive so do not put anything aqueous on the surface without a professional.
The only thing I could advise is that you lightly brush the surface. Ideally with a very soft brush like squirrel hair. Very light motion with hardly any pressure. ONLY do this is the paint surface is stable, not lifting paint, cracks etc. If you are worried call a conservator. Happy to advise if you send me a pic/PM.
Good luck.
