Re: OT:fade rates for "real" watercolor or arcylic paintings

["Jim Collins" <jrcollins@netscape.net>]

Watercolors, acrylics, and oils don't fade in 20 or 30 years.  There are
many in museums which are hundreds of years old and still look good (not
acrylics).  However all artists pigments are rated for permanence so that
painters can use pigments which are relatively durable.  On the other hand
no artist I know would expose their work to UV light or other damaging
conditions.
