Symptoms of an aging artwork can include:
- Flaking paint
- Discoloration
- Cracks
- Tented paint
If you are noticing some of these signs of damage on your artwork, it is a good idea to bring it to a professional fine art restorer.
On ageing varnish may become very yellow. This discolouration will alter the tonal balance within the painting, making it look significantly different from how the artist intended.
