Acrylic paintings are taking over the numbers of paintings in private collections as well as galleries and museums. Acrylic paint was first introduced in the '50s and has dominated the market for arts and crafts. Additionally, many artists see acrylic as the perfect alternative to the use of oils. Acrylics are quite different from oil paints in the way that they are made, used and age, so the same methods of caring for oil paintings is not the same for acrylic works. The best way to care for your acrylic paintings is by instituting some preventative care routines.

Paintings that are made with acrylic paints often gather dust more easily than other mediums. This is mainly because acrylic can hold electrostatic charges and these attract dust. A good way to keep the dust out is with a protective frame.

Chemical cleaning agents should not be used to remove dust. A clean towel or a feather duster is suitable means of removing dust. Acrylic paint is sensitive to heats of 140 F and should be kept away from heat sources. This would include heating lamps or near stoves and ovens. This amount of heat can deform the acrylic and will lessen the value of the work.

Acrylic is also pressure sensitive. It is recommended not to apply your finger nails to the acrylic as it can dent the surface. It is also affected by common household cleaning agents and solvents. Acrylics that have a varnish protection on the surface are less susceptible to common damages and dust. High humidity can also affect an acrylic painting and every measure to keep humidity exposure to a minimum is recommended.

The varnish that is applied to each painting will give the painting an added layer of protection, but care must still be taken to prevent damage to the surface of the painting.
