Framing Recommendations for Watercolors
To preserve the delicate transparency and the rich texture of the 100% cotton paper, I recommend a thoughtful approach to framing:
Glass is Essential: Unlike varnished oil paintings, watercolors remain porous and sensitive to moisture and dust. Framing with glass is highly recommended to protect the integrity of the pigments and the natural fibers of the cotton paper.
UV Protection: For long-term preservation, I suggest using UV-protective glass (or museum glass) to prevent the colors from fading over time when exposed to natural light.
The Importance of the Mat (Paspartú): It is crucial to use an acid-free mat to create a small air gap between the painting and the glass. This prevents the paper from sticking to the glass and allows the cotton fibers to "breathe" through changes in humidity.
Frame Style: To complement the ethereal and soft nature of watercolor, I recommend light natural wood frames.
