I wonder. Does a painter take into account how the paints dry and age when painting? Say, so that it appears at its optimum a year after it is finished as opposed to directly after finishing? Is there a purpose to do so?
- cainxinth 5y agoWell, painters have been using varnish for centuries to add gloss and a protective coating, so clearly they had some considerations about longevity.
- spockz 5y agoYes okay. I was thinking more along the lines of “this red fades quicker than this yellow. So if I want the picture to be in harmony in 2 years still I need to put in the red now a bit thicker. Even if that means that right after finishing it doesn’t look as they intended.
