A Brief History of Paint

Join us for a look at the physical and chemical properties of oil and acrylic as a foundation for questions of painting technique and conservation. We will also talk about the history of pigments and the development of oil and acrylic as a vehicle for painting. If you’ve ever wondered about the difference between a student and artist grade paint, or weren’t sure about how to assess the permanence, lightfastness, or transparency of a paint (or why you should care!), please join us for a “nuts and bolts” exploration of paint
