Do I need to sign my artwork?

  • Always sign your artwork and be consistent in your signature. I always use a red or orange depending on the colours of the painting
  • I always sign to the bottom left or right
  • Do not put your signature on an angle and beware that your signature is not too large or distracting from your painting
  • Do I date the artwork?

    • I do not recommend dating your artworks. If you want to place a date for your own reference place the date on the back of your artwork not on the front
    • Place on the back of your artwork your name and contact details. The buyer may want to connect I have stickers that I place on the centre bottom on the back of the framed artwork with my email and website address
    • Some artists will attach an envelope with a certificate of authenticity or have the story of the creation
      Bubble wrap? Yes Or No?
    • Neve use bubble wrap if it is in direct contact with the painting or sculpture. A foam wrap that is designed for wrapping artworks is recommended by art couriers.
    • Corner slips are also good protection for your frames
