Nothing, really. As long as you keep the painting protected. I have oil on canvas paintings that my distant relative painted about 80 years ago still hanging in my home. My family has taken care of them, though. Some general things you should keep in mind are not to take it out of the frame too often. Dust and other air-borne pollutants can affect the color and integrity of the paint. Also, harsh lighting and extreme temperatures and fade or crack the paint. Just take care of the painting, and it will be fine.

How do you use painter's tape to make a straight line on canvas with paint without having the paint seep under the tape?
Star with a well stretched canvas. Gesso or prime the canvas. Place your painter's tape firmly on the surface of the canvas. With the edge of an old credit card, carefully press the edges down. Do not over stretch the canvas or damage the surface. Apply your paint from the tape to the canvas (NOT from the canvas to the tape) give the paint time to set up but not dry completely. Remove the tape in a slow steady movement pulling down and toward the painted area... do not allow the tape to sag and mar the fresh paint or leave wet paint in undesireable places. Allow the paint to dry completely.

How long does a glow in the dark paint last on canvas?
It depends on the paint used. "Luminous" paint will only last a short time because it will lose its chemical reactants (radioactive paints being unusual). "Phosphorescent" paint may absorb light energy, then release it again. This will last for a considerable time but not for any great numberof years, because it reacts with other chemicals as well.

How do you stop oil paints from smudging when dry?
Oils paints can take a long time to dry enough not to smudge. Though a skin quickly forms on the surface, thick paint may still be soft beneath, even months later. Only time will ensure the paint dries right through to the canvas. If for children, I would consider using acrylic paint, which dries very quickly.
