Thanks for the advice. I'll go check and see if I can find one some place. |

I have been using the Itoya Art Portfolios to store my paintings. I also use them to store experiments, notes, color charts, and such. They look like big photo albums with 24 plastic pockets. You can put two paintings - one facing front and one facing back -- in each pocket for a total of 48 paintings per portfolio. The manufacturer claims that these portfolios are archival. They are relatively inexpensive and come in a variety of sizes from 4"x6" to 18"x24". They are virtually indestructible and easy to transport. I don't know whether this is the best solution, but it works for me. |

I have painted for some time now, but I don't know how to store my paintings!!! Framing is too expensive and would take up too much space... Right now they are stored in plastic bags and in a drawer (I don't know if it's treated with chemicals) I can't even get to because I have a too small appartment! Please tell me if my treatment of my paintings is stupid!!!! I *think* I've read people talking about some place dark in artbooks, like an acid-free drawer or wrapped in brown paper you use for parckages and hide from moist and light... But it seems a little difficult in a bad isolated appartment with large windows everywhere. So do any of you have alternative options to share? |
