Yellowing of oil paintings
I’m a mid career painter, working in oils. Lately I have noticed that some of my paintings start yellowing in some areas. There is a painting that I just got out of the closet that I did about 5 yrs ago and it has few yellow areas. There is also a painting that I finished about 3 months ago and it was standing in the light area and it also shows yellowing in a few spots. I paint landscapes so the yellow areas appear mostly in the sky and snow. What is strange is that I have a painting of 15 yrs ago of a snow scene and it doesn’t have any yellowing. I have been painting with linceed oil or glazing with damar and adding few drops of cobalt dryer. Sometimes I use damar as a medium as well. I’m in desperate need of some answers and would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.
