Description
This may be the most valuable class you never knew you needed. After completing a painting, there are many important tasks that take place, depending on the intent for the piece. If you want to give the painting to a loved one, you will need to know how to prepare it for shipping. If it’s going to be entered in a show, you need to know how to prepare a proper digital image. If you’re going to hang it, you will need to know how to frame it. If it gets dirty over time, you need to know how to clean it. This class covers all of this and much more. It’s a sequential class, but afterwards it can act as a resource for your future reference.​The course includes:​4 Hours of LectureOver 40 Student Handouts and Activities (Downloadable)​​We begin with various ways you can sign your work. We then discuss titling your artwork with a look at naming strategies used by the Masters. Documenting your paintings in some form of database or on the back of a painting, is another important topic. Then we’ll learn about the proper ways to handle artwork and some precautions you may want to take to protect your work.​The class then covers the topic of storing your paintings by learning the best methods and storage structures in order to protect your work, after which I take you on a tour of my own studio set-up. Next, I give you step-by-step instructions and tips on how to photograph and edit your painting. We then learn all about framing and displaying your artwork, and we’ll take a deep dive into the subject of lighting, as that can have a tremendous impact on how art is viewed. We end the class with a discussion on both cleaning and shipping your paintings.​For each topic, I will teach you general information, discuss best practices, and then show you what I do. With this information, you can then decide how you would like to handle the specific topic and make an informed decision.​
