Good afternoon, my daughter loves to paint in oils and we have a number of pictures that she has used an oil paper for.   I have added one of her pieces we have framed and put up :-). I would like to store these (there are sadly too many to put on our walls) and looking for the best way to store these safely.  Also, with lock down, we are not venturing far, so delivery suggestions would be fab.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Well these are simple to store, buy a portfolio case from one of the art suppliers such as Jackson’s. The only issue is giving each one time to dry out, this will depend on how thick she’s applied the oil paint. I often use the Fabriano Tela pads/blocks for plein air oil sketches, I’ve got hundreds of these stored in portfolios. Alternatively, make a cheap folder up using cardboard and masking tape!

Thank you,  I will take a look, they are dry, as have been out in my office, but looking to put them away properly and safely for the longer term.
