Q: I work primarily in watermedia and occasionally complete
paintings done entirely with acrylic washes on paper or illustration
board. How should I frame these works, and how does this method compare
to handling oil paintings over paper?
A: Acrylic works on paper can be treated in the same manner
as transparent watercolors or oils on paper. Although it's possible to
show them unprotected, it's recommended that they be displayed under
glass.
