Painting on canvas are the most sensitive articles and damages are very common. Inappropriate workmanship, temperature changes, lighting changes, improper fixing and improper storage can cause a number of damage to the paintwork.

Some tips for conserving your painting on canvas are:
- Keep the work away from all sources of heat such as lamps, fireplace, etc.
- Avoid direct or excessive lighting of the sun or artificial light, as both can cause pigment discoloration
- Remove dust from the frames on both the front and back at least once a week to prevent the appearance of fungi and moths.
- Avoid moisture directly or indirectly, and may cause fungi to appear.
- Using dry cotton cloth is one of the tips to clean the work of art without damaging it (Never use a damp cloth for this purpose).
- Carefully pack the work to be transported (use tissue paper, nylon foam or bubble wrap) to avoid vibration, shock, etc.
