The best way to preserve an abstract figure painting is to frame it in protective glass to safeguard it from dust, dirt, and even accidental touch. For an acrylic figure painting, you must varnish it to shield it from UV rays and possible yellowing. For a watercolor figure painting, light plays a crucial catalyst; hence, it should be kept away from direct light, which may affect the vibrancy of the colors. The watercolor figure painting should be mounted on acid-free mat boards or protected by a frame of filtered glass.
