Imagine painting with watercolor on paper, it might fade or even disappear over time. But when artists use oil paints, the colors stick around much longer. It’s like using glue instead of just water to make sure your drawing lasts. Some paintings stay bright and beautiful for centuries because they’re made with strong materials that don’t break down easily.
Examples
- A watercolor painting might lose its color when it gets wet from a rainy morning
- A canvas painted with red and blue pigments could still look bright even after 300 years
