Because the canvas on which this piece of art has been painted is of a high-quality construction, the color should remain robust and last for years to come. To maintain its pristine condition, keep the canvas covered as much as possible. This will prevent layers of dust, grime and finger grease from building up. Keep your acrylic canvas out of direct sunlight, as natural rays can accelerate fading and will change the color of the paint pigment. Also, avoid handling the painting any more than is necessary. To prevent cracking, never roll or varnish your canvas. If your painting gets dirty, brush it to remove any loose dirt. If that doesn’t do the trick, wash it with clean water but don’t saturate the paint or canvas, as doing so can cause shrinking.
