How do I store a wet oil painting?
After applying an oil paint ground on my painting I let it dry in my studio for 2-3 weeks. The problem is that after this time some dust particles settle on the surface of the oil paint. I have tried putting the painting in a closet, doesn't work. I cannot put cloth on it since the oil gets smudged as it comes in contact with the material.
How do I protect a wet oil painting from dust without disturbing the oil paint on it?
Keep a wet painting in a "clean room" or a relatively dust-free room. Your studio may not be the cleanest place, but a nearby closet or bathroom might be.
Lean your painting against a wall, face toward the wall with only a corner contacting the wall. You can also throw a sheet over it in this position. If you get drafts, weigh down the sheet with a rock or paperweight so it won't flap onto the wet surface of the painting.
