How Durable are Watercolours?
Watercolours have lasted for hundreds of years. However, they should not be hung in direct sunlight.

What is waterbased media?
The CSPWC defines Water Based Media as the following: the paint is resoluble in water (artists quality watercolour paint, applied transparently or opaquely; and/or gouache)and there may be a pencil drawing. The painting surface is any organic fibre paper, including watercolour paper mounted on board, with no varnish applied. Only media listed in the definition above are permissible. Application by hand, brush or any tool, by the artist, and without mechanical assistance.
How do I make slides of my work?
It is always best to photograph the work unframed. The image, without glass over it, should fill the frame of the slide. If this is not possible, use a black matt to block off extraneous material.Try to ensure that the lighting is as even as possible. Take several photos of each work, using different exposures to ensure you get one that is clear and accurate.
How do I make digital images of my work?
Why Plexiglas?
Plexiglas is an alternative glazing material to glass and has advantages for exhibition purposes. It is much lighter than glass, therefore cheaper to ship and easier to hang. It is also much less likely to break, and if it does the shards are duller than glass and less likely to damage the painting. Plexiglas does have drawbacks. It scratches easily, attracts static and can warp with gravity over time. It is recommended to use a plastic anti-static cleaning agent, NOT windex.
