How to remove smoke from a painting?  Truly if you need to have such art in a room with smoke is time to let the professionals handle your love pieces with care.  Wood stoves, fireplaces, cigarette smoke damages paintings living a brown-black on paintings, and you will also find dark gray areas in the same painting.  They doll, and darken artwork, they also make them look as if they had a non-glare glass on top.  Please before too long find someone with expertise to care for your art.  Do not try cleaning it yourself.  I have heard horror stories regarding, water and soap, ammonia.  This only penetrates the canvas making the canvas fibers shrink and paint becomes brittle and cracks.  Before is too late, please consult an expert.  www.anabela-artist.com/restorations/  take a look at my latest work. https://youtu.be/xusCz2oTF3k
