Fugitive pigments
Fugitive pigments, in painting, are non-permanent
pigments (pigments that lighten in what is understood, said or defined
to be a relatively short time when exposed to light).
While most paintings are supposed to be done with
permanent pigments, painters have made work wholly or partially
with fugitive pigments for a number of reasons: ignorance as to
the permanence of the pigments, prioritising the appearance of the
colours one can get with fugitive pigments over permanence, or the
desire to have a painting change in appearance over time.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.
