Art Tip 61:

Fading Colors on Acrylic Paintings

You have tried everything already. You did not put it under direct sunlight, used professional cleaners and even used a room temperature regulator. But still, your acrylic painting's color continues fade.

This may not be your fault. Fact is, it is possible that the acrylic painting is really susceptible color fading. Why? The artist could have used a less than desirable quality of acrylic paint. These inferior quality paints tend to have cheaper colorants which fade easily under UV light.
