Some “art” notes:

What are “graphics”?

An Engraving:
A print made by the artist by precisely incising into a metal plate using a slim metal tool to create an image.

An Etching:
A print created through the application of acid onto the uncovered parts of a metal plate, ‘biting’ into the metal and creating the desired image.

A Screen-print or serigraph:
Also known as a silkscreen print, screen-printing uses a stencil and a piece of fabric stretched over a wood frame. Ink is then pushed through the fabric to create the image dictated by the stencil.

A Lithograph:
A print created by the artist simply drawing on a stone or metal plate with a greasy crayon or pencil. The reverse image is then transferred onto the printing surface. An offset lithograph is when the original image is transferred to a rubber plate before being printed onto the final surface.

A Digital Print:
A print that utilizes modern digital printers, as opposed to traditional printing press methods. 

Caring for your artwork : 

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Artworks should be displayed away from direct sunlight and open wind. Be very careful with extreme humid or very polluted conditions especially smoke. 

To clean accumulated dust from a painting, use a soft, dry brush very lightly on the surface. Make sure there is no moisture on the bristles before touching the artwork. For repairing more severe damage, such as cracks or discolouration, it is best to seek help from a professional. Once a year, remove the artwork from the wall for a couple of days to let the wall breathe and avoid moisture accumulation.

Please get your work framed by a specialist because the materials used like adhesive, hooks, pinning etc can be very harmful to the life of a painting. Proper matting, encasing, binding etc are crucial factors too.
