Paintings can last a long time, but they don’t stay exactly the same forever. Think of them like your favorite shirt, if it stays in a drawer for years, it might still look good, but if you wear it every day or expose it to sunlight, it will fade and get worn out. Paintings go through similar things: light, moisture, and even air can change their colors over time.
Examples
- Your favorite shirt loses its color after being washed many times.
- An old poster starts to peel from the wall when it gets wet.
