Hopscotch | Watercolor Painting

Original watercolor paintings need to be framed under UV-protectant glass. Watercolors get reconstituted when they come into contact with moisture. Colors may shift, run or break, thereby ruining the painting. Archival framing will protect the painting from dust and moisture damage. To protect your piece, hang your painting away from heat, humitidy, and direct sunlight. You should ideally hang the painting in a room with halogen or incandescent lighting.
