I've always been amazed at how few hairs I can find stuck to the paint in 19th century paintings in the museums. Guess the old painters were pretty careful about that. <br /><br />Especially if you like to varnish your paintings when they're done, those hairs have a way of catching the light perfectly and making nasty little sparkling reflections right in the middle of some otherwise great smooth passage you've painted.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-913757726455686202010-11-18T01:59:36.580-05:002010-11-18T01:59:36.580-05:00Timely post as I was just thinking about this.

My dumb question is: Is a little dust/lint/brush hairs/hair allowed in a painting or do buyers and collectors think that artists are unkempt or unprofessional if their work is not scrupulously clean?<br /><br />I try my best to keep my work clean but I still find impurities after the paint has dried. Maybe I nitpick too much? I wish I can see more paintings in person so I'll know if this is "normal".Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860410884320136454noreply@blogger.com
