Caring for your painting is easy. The resin will attract dust over time, which can be dusted off using a soft new paintbrush or a micro-fibre cloth. (I always encourage people to touch the work, for which you can buff off fingerprints with the micro-fibre cloth).
'My paintings are heavily textured, layered and the resin is applied by hand. The resin I use is actually a thick varnish and is not supposed to represent glass. With the 3d work in particular, it is quite impossible to have a completely pure 'glass' finish, the works will often contain bubbles and dimples or raised spots within the resin. These are caused from the texture raising up through the resin, they are not imperfections and should be expected. Furthermore, the reason I use texture is to make the paintings more tactile, so I use thin layers of resin to show that.
For my paintings which do not have the 3d pieces embedded, they will have less bubbles etc but it cannot be comparable to glass as again, it is not applied by machine but by hand.'
