Caring for your canvas, by Deleted on May 18, 2013 15:26:36 GMT 1, Hi,
As someone's who's getting a Whatson Window Washer canvas back from the framers soon and is in the process of getting a Dolk Bombsuit canvas (oh my god I can't wait!) I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to best look after your canvas.
I know a few obvious things such as keeping it away from direct sunlight but does anyone have any other tips? I raised the issue of putting glass over a framed canvas recently as I thought this might be just another way to help protect it from the 'dirty' outside world and this got a mixed response.
Any other thoughts or advice??

Caring for your canvas, by gravity1 on May 18, 2013 17:21:17 GMT 1, As a lover of canvases I too have quite a few and as much as I'd like to preserve them as best I can my place has walls of windows and is generally flooded with natural light. I did try plexi on a canvas once but ended up looking cold and removed IMO. I guess it's just a preference and how serious you are about the longevity of your art. I know there are also UV protecting glazes available but no idea how many artists use it.

Has anyone had any experience of using the museum style glass that offers UV protection and is anti reflective? I've always used one or the other as I've heard this is really expensive. Maybe this could be the way to go?

Caring for your canvas, by Manty on May 18, 2013 21:55:39 GMT 1, I know nothing about this, but I would imagine oil paint would be fine re- sunlight? people have been using canvasses as a medium for painting on for a few years now, and some old ones are still worth quite a bit.
I have a few canvasses and just hang them where ever they suit. By a window, above a rad, whatever, wherever, however, though not hung any outside (yet)
I framed a couple as they looked better framed, glass was used on a couple and they looked a bit crap, so regretted that.
The downer I find is when the kids start throwing things at each other and use the canvasses to bounce the object off of
