[or-roots] Containers for Oil Painting

[DanM]

My sister has an art gallery, I ask her if I was doing mine right, I use a
camel hair brush, camel hair is anti static too, but a fluffy brush really
works nice, lightly fluffy it.
   Cloth and rubbing has effects that are not always wanted, I ruined one of
mine with a t shirt.
  We wrap ours in Mylar < clear > for viewing, and dark for storing.
Well we don't always do things like we should , but this is how we were told
some time ago to do.  Oil paints also have different pigments, so I agree
with Les, best to be real careful with oils.
