How do I ship an unframed painting?

Unframed oil paintings

If the oil painting is unframed, place some wax paper on the front of the painting before you wrap the work in cardboard, wood or a blanket. Remember that oil paintings have varnish on them and if the work is in a very hot area for a period of time, the varnish can become sticky.
