My initial thought was that it was because pigments suspended in oils or acrylic emulsions have more UV protection than pastels or watercolors due to the protective coating provided by their liquid vehicles. However, paper quality varies, and there may be other factors involved that require the reduced lighting. That’s a good question Casey.

I've been learning a lot about artist materials while my work area is "under construction." It's keeping me off the streets and out of trouble. :D How about a European museum tour? We could rent a camper, and take the back roads between cities for a little plein air painting! Thanks Rita!

I'm glad you shared this info, I've always advised people who purchase my work to use UV glass and tips on where to hang the work so that it will last for the longest possible time...without fading. It's a shame, really, that we'll never be able to see some of the older works in "all their glory" as far as colours go. Although I'd be happy to just see them in person period! :D (field trip to the Louvre anyone?) Great post and sketch, Lisa!
