Why do some paintings retain their glowing colours for centuries whilst others darken or fade in a matter of years? How do artists become good craftsmen and women?
Does craft still matter in an age of synthetic pigments and digital reproduction?
This lecture describes and explains the materials painters use, the various techniques they employ to preserve their work and what happens when things ‘go wrong’.
We explore in detail the technical, practical and historical aspects of the painter’s craft, from choosing the correct support, pigments and medium, through to varnishing, framing and conservation.
