Painters use special materials that help colors stay bright even after a long time. It’s like putting food in the fridge to keep it from going bad, they put color inside a kind of ‘food bag’ so it doesn’t fade easily.
Examples
- Ancient painters used water and plaster to make color that would stay forever.
- Modern artists use special oils to keep their paintings bright even after years.
