Im quite happy when the oil tones down , Just wonder how light fast acrylics will be in 5 or 6 years

 

[grasshopper]

It’s pigment related..most will fare better..been used on canvas for long enough...after all, paint is pigment, carrier, binder...and if the pigment is lightfast will be fine...with watercolours the pigment is diluted....and many used still aren’t lightfast..we don’t always follow best practices in our hobby anyway, with over thinned paint films using excess white spirits, lean over fat...not allowing an oiling out...but in our lifetimes does it matter-not. The colour sink of oils happens tho..and we still can use alizarin, indigo- more fugitive.

If you want to go full anorak, check Natural Pigments website..George ohanlon writes treatises, and was prominent in proving how zinc white causes cracking...

Excellent work!

And over the years oils ripen like a good wine, that's why I like them so much.

cheers,

Don't remember this one. If I did see it before I probably gave it a like so you can feck off fishing for another one.
This is absolutely stunning, probably your best work

There's some excellent paintwork in there Ron. I admire anyone who can work through something that complex and get that result.

It's a beautiful piece Ron, without question. Oils do change a little bit once they cure. This is a fine bit of work mate.
