travelling with your new canvas

When embarking on a holiday, one often seeks to create lasting memories and preserve the essence of their journey. One way to achieve this is by acquiring art during your travels. Whether it's a vibrant canvas painting or a delicate sculpture, these artistic treasures serve as tangible reminders of the places we've visited and the emotions experienced.

However, when purchasing a canvas artwork that is rolled up for transport, it's crucial to take proper precautions to ensure its preservation. To begin with, consider the way the canvas is wrapped. Ideally, the painted surface should face outward, while a layer of glazing or wax paper is placed within the roll. This method minimizes the risk of cracking and damage during transportation.

It's important to note that even with these precautions in place, there may still be instances where the artwork sustains cracks. One factor to consider is the variation in humidity levels between the country of purchase and your hometown, such as Saskatoon. Different climates can impact the stability of the artwork, leading to unexpected changes in its condition.

At Dandelion, we handle your artwork with utmost care. However, the occasional issue with cracking may arise. This is why it's crucial to be aware of the potential challenges that can arise when acquiring art from another country.

By keeping these considerations in mind and making informed choices, you can enhance your travel experience through art purchases. These unique pieces serve as tangible tokens of your adventures, allowing you to relive cherished memories and transport yourself back to the places that touched your soul.
