The tiniest amount of artificial light can lift a painting and allow the viewer to see it, without realising that it is lit.<\/p>\n Ensure that the LED light source creates an even distribution of light across the whole painting \u2013 not just the top of the frame! Also think about matching the finish to the colour of the frame, or the walls, for a seamless effect.<\/p>\n Works on paper, such as photographs and watercolours, are very sensitive to light, so place them in the darkest part of the house to preserve the pigments. Oil paintings are moderately sensitive, so consider installing a mesh blind, or drawing the curtains when the room is not in use.<\/p>\n You may also like:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> <\/section> Written by Andrew Molyneux and Harry Triggs, founders of art lighting specialists TM Lighting<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/body><\/html>\n By Homes & Antiques Published: Friday, 16 September 2022 at 12:00 am The lighting in a room can transform the way your photos, pictures and art come to life.
