A Study on the Retouching Materials for Oil Paintings : Using Restoration Colors

In this study, the Restoration color of three manufacturers (Companies A, B, and C) used for retouching are selected, differences in paint properties based on resin type by each manufacturer as medium compared. The results indicate that produced differs terms ingredients, development characteristics, durability, reversibility. Company A (binder: mastic resin) shows best reversibility; however, it exhibits significant discoloration numerous cracks after deterioration, well chalking some colors. B acrylic is superior to those other cracking, although its reversibility unsatisfactory. C aldehyde discoloration, small holes observed sample surface deterioration. consistent with deterioration characteristics medium; additionally, restoration durability depending medium. It expected above can be not only essential reference data when selecting materials retouching, but also predict problems may appear part work using come up management measures.
