Imagine your favorite crayon drawing, it stays bright for a while, but if you leave it in the sun too long, it might start to fade. Paintings work the same way! Some use special colors that don’t get ruined by light or time, so they stay beautiful for centuries. Other paintings are like those poor crayon drawings, their colors change or even disappear after a while.
Examples
- A painted wall from ancient times still looks almost new today because the paint was made from long-lasting materials.
