Moving, storing or shipping Canvas Paintings

After you start painting the number of canvases will increase or multiply. Before you know it you have huge stacks of them. This is one benefit of doing watercolor or in using acrylic papers or canvas boards - they stack nicely.

Here is what Google AI says about storing canvases (click the link for more info):

"To properly store canvas paintings, keep them in a cool, dry, and dark place, ideally away from direct sunlight and fluctuating temperatures or humidity. Store them vertically to prevent warping or sagging, and separate them with protective materials like acid-free paper or silicone release paper to avoid sticking or damage. 

If you are moving, storing them or even mailing them in boxes you will quickly learn how hard it is to find boxes that will fit them. Although paintings that are 24 or 30 inches tall are not huge there are few boxes and they can get expenses.

Yesterday, I worked and worked to add 2 more inches to a box and it turned out great. Very sturdy. I was proud! 
The next box I started using my experience with the first one and even took photos for this post idea. As I explored I realized that the BOTTOM of the box would accommodate the length of the canvases! So, I laid the canvases in the bottom rather than stand them vertically. I immediately marked an arrow on the box marking the 'new' top of the box which was the 'end' of the box.

When the box was sealed up well I stood the box on its edge and marked, 'This End Up' and marked arrows pointing up.

Good luck! Maybe you are smarter than me...hope so. Haha.
