What causes Foxing

Reversing and restoring the surface pigments of most original prints of Mould damage and foxing spots is achievable.

Firstly, Fungal growth on paper causes Foxing is one theory. Another possible cause is the oxidation of iron, copper, or other substances in the pulp or rag papers from where the paper was made. High humidity may contribute to Foxing.

At the heart of all foxing instances, you’ll find mould spores needing suitable conditions to thrive. 

As the paper degrades, becoming more acidic and more absorbent as sizing agents break down. Paper reaches a certain acidity level, combines with humidity in the atmosphere, causing impurities and mould to grow; the reddish stains then appear.

Furthermore, Foxing causes your artwork to be unusually eye-catching for the wrong reasons. Subtle colours and shades used in works-on-paper are at odds with the unmistakable bold reddish-brown impressions on the painting. 

How Foxing affects your artwork

With artwork where there is possibly an expanse of cloud or a stretch of sea, it’s very noticeable. You can see from the image, these marks mottle and blemish the artwork.

Foxing is treated without compromising the paper support or pigments. Also, and to a certain extent, you can treat it using specific washing treatments that flush out the paper’s polluted acidic elements. However, usually, removing foxing use a conservation standard bleaching agent.

Many issues arise with watercolours and works on paper; Foxing is preventable. Paper consistently absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, therefore absorbing many impurities. It’s sensible to put preventative measures in place and avoid future damage. Ensure your painting is correctly stored and displayed, with minimal exposure to humidity.

Frame your artwork with Tru Vue Museum Glass®, preventing 99% of UV light, is often another favourable option.

Important to realize, we often work with artwork restoration and conservation specialists. Contact us for assistance.

At Port Douglas picture framers, we like to think about the long term survival of artworks in the tropics.

The North Queensland tropical environment can destroy valuable, as well as,  sentimental artworks in a matter of years. 

Glass alone is a poor insulator. When artworks are exposed to rapid, significant changes in temperatures, likewise, humidity, moisture may form on the glass.

Moisture will, without a doubt, destroy paper and canvas.

If moisture or the humidity remains 70%  or higher mould will appear on paper, or reddish-brown spots called foxing.

Even so, we have a number of solutions for preservation framing Port Douglas! 

ACRYLIC GLAZING IS AN EXCELLENT THERMAL INSULATOR, IN PARTICULAR, FOR PRESERVATION FRAMING PORT DOUGLAS. 

Port Douglas Picture Framing has come up with ways to preserve artworks.

The main problem is from moisture, additionally, mould and harsh sunlight.

With this in mind, one of the better options in glazing is in fact acrylic mounting.

Acrylic is a great insulator. Acrylic glazing, instead of glass is beneficial for several other reasons. 

It’s much lighter than glass for larger sized artworks.

Acrylic is also hard to break or damage, much more manageable for shipping.

Acrylic applied directly to artwork never moulds. The acrylic is sealed directly to the artwork with a sealed backing board.

NOT MUCH IN THE TROPICS IS BUG RESISTANT 

Insects like termites, Woodworm and cockroaches are a threat to paper.

We have solutions for bug resistance framing with our speciality acrylic glazing and composite Backing.

The mounting process is the best process in tropical Conditions.

The bonus is that you can create artwork acrylic prints for wet areas like bathroom and kitchen
