I came across an article in the local newspaper on How to look after your wall paintings in rainfall season, and seems like they're good.
1) Maintain friendly room temperature
High levels of humidity tend to cause mold growth. moisture may also cause the wooden frame of the painting to expand and damage around the canvas.
2) Be careful about seepage
Don't hang the paintings on a seepage prone wall. Water from make the colors bleed and also cause damage to the frame.
3) Stay away from windows
As much as possible, don't put your pantings close to windows and doors. These are the most humid prone areas. Kitchens and dinng rooms also are places where there should be no paintings hanging.
4) Control Air Flow
Don't start your Air Conditioners on full cooling capacity, adjust the cooling slowly so that the the change in the room temperature comes gradually.
5) Be careful about packaging
If the paintings are being stored, ensure that they are wrapped in foam, and then bubble wrap. Prefer storing them n a cool and dry place
Hope the artlovers like these tips.
