Paintings stay alive because of special treatments and careful care. Think of them like wrapped candies, if they're wrapped tightly, they won’t get ruined by things like water or air. Artists use materials that don’t break easily, and people who take care of paintings clean them gently so they last for hundreds of years.
Examples
- An old painting is cleaned with a soft brush, just like dusting a table.
