Framing and Care
Shows and Events

  • When framing, always choose glass with UV protection
  • Clayboard engravings are sealed with Claybord Matte Fixative and can be framed without glass
  • Watercolors, unless otherwise noted, are not sealed. That means they are vulnerable until they are properly framed.
  • Watercolors on Yupo are especially vulnerable until they are properly framed. Since Yupo is a synthetic paper, the paint does not "sink in" like with traditional watercolor papers. Even the slightest amount of moisture can lift the pigment from the surface and alter the image. I don't use fixative because not alot is known about their use with this paper long-term.

I use only the highest quality watercolors and papers so you receive a brilliant, lightfast image. The rest is up to you!
