Oil Painting - Page 2

usually, oil painting are framed without a glass over it. and generally, you can indeed sell them within a couple of months. any art collectors would know better than to touch on the art itself. In fact, you don't even touch any other kind of art for that matter, not even water colour or acrylic. You won't just crack/smudge then, you will also transfer sweat/oil/etc that will damage the painting over the years!

Yea, obviously oils are not framed. And depending on the kind of canvas too, drying time can take between 2-6 months.

Well, interesting to note is those classic paintings.. touched and manhandled over the years and most of them are still going strong.

Hmm... I don't like this kind of paintings... reminds me of an episode in Supernatural. Or one episode from Stephen King's short stories. That one was SCARY. The painting has a mind/life of its own. And you can't tell how old is the painting just by looking at it, can you?

Hmm.. If I'm not mistaken, those masterpieces are regularly maintained.

In fact, what we sometimes see in the gallery are actually reproductions used when the actual paintings are being restored/maintained.
