Practice question · True or false
The light limits applied to an oil painting and to a watercolour on paper are the same, because both are painted surfaces.
Hints
- Ask what the colourant and the substrate are in each case.
- One is commonly limited to a quarter of the other's level.
Show the answer
False
Why
False. Works on paper, watercolours, textiles and dyed materials are commonly held at about 50 lux, and oil or tempera on canvas or panel at 150 to 200. The difference is in the vulnerability of the colourant and the substrate, not in whether the surface counts as a painting.
