Taking Care of your Artwork
Different artwork will have different requirements in terms of where you place them in your home.
Oil paintings: Surprisingly durable in terms of paintings. Mostly (and traditionally) oil paintings are displayed with a frame without glass. Some patrons even prefer having their paintings without a frame. If the artwork gets dusty use a feather duster and (only in extreme cases) use a damp cloth to wipe it down. Don't use chemical products like bleach or dishwashing liquid to clean the artwork as this could damage it. Also try to avoid any food stains on the artwork as this could also have a negative effect on the artworks surface.
Watercolour: Avoid hanging watercolour works in direct sunlight. Harsh sunlight can cause watercolour paintings to fade so it's best to hang them on a wall that does not get direct sunlight. Watercolour works are often framed with glass in front of the painting to protect the paintings surface as your watercolour will change if exposed to water again. So try to not let the artwork stand in water either (even if it is framed).
Sculpture: As a whole try to not let this artwork get wet. Sculpture is made in various mediums and certain mediums (like woodcarving) can take the odd splash but some mediums will be permanently damaged with any water/food/chemical interactions, so this is best to keep in mind when choosing where to display the piece. A sculpture also can become something that can cause objects like cloths and other hook able wearable items to hook on which could also damage the artwork if agitated. It's best to display artwork in corners/areas which don't get traffic where it can get damaged.
