Imagine you're painting with crayons, if you draw on paper, the colors might fade or smudge over time. But if you paint with thick oil paint and use a strong canvas, it can last for centuries. Some paintings are like crayon drawings, they don’t have the same strength or protection, so they fade away.
Examples
- A painting drawn with thin pencil on paper fades easily.
- A color made from crushed red stone lasts longer than one made from a plant.
