Question: Why does my oil paint colors fade after a while?

I notice that after I oil and dried after painting to paint, the colors fade. You do not look as rich. I use high quality oils such as Williamsburg and Windsor & Newton. I do not understand why my colors fade. The only Way to distinguish them, the use of paint after the paint has dried. But I wonder why the colors fade. Who knows?

Answer: I think what you are is talk luster. When colors are wet, they have a really nice sheen to them that can flatten as they dry, depending on how much solvent You use. The best way to combat this is to add media like linseed oil, oil level, galkyd paint, etc to your computer. This aids in thinning of the paint and make it easier to work with, but not dry it out and making it appear chalky and flat, like turpentine / turpenoid / other solvents do. A classic Medium mixture for general painting consists of 1 part oil (stand, flaxseed, and what ever you prefer), 1 part paint (Damar, galkyd, etc), and some solvents (Turpentine, turpenoid, gamsol, etc). To increase the drying time, you can add a few drops of Japan drier, but this only add a little bit, or you'll risk Cracking and other problems later on! Also, remember that Damar varnish does not mix well with turpenoid. Use only with pure turpentine, gum or gamsol for best results. As you get used to different media, you will learn what works best for you. I personally love the splendor and rapidity of the drying of coatings provided, so my general Mediums tends to be about 70% varnish. This is what I describe each painting, however, and if I, say, chalky like, maybe I'll just with my gamsol . Paint If I want super shiny, show something, maybe I'll just. Use galkyd fading over time may be due to the interaction of light with pigments, and Most colors are lightfast ratings on the tubes to tell you how to keep it under lights. However, this is not something that would be felt for weeks in a matter of days - it can take years, pigments, actually fade. Hope that helped http://www.rosebriccetti.com!
