Restoration painting needs a colour that absolutely does not ‘move’, in other words one that will not change either tone or shade over time. Gouache tempera can satisfy this requirement but, although it does not change itself, the tone can vary, since it is hard to maintain the wet appearance. Obviously, this depends on the fact that the varnishing solvent has an index that differs from water and no one has yet developed a stable, water-based varnish. However, varnish colours are ideal here. Their solvent is the same as that of the final varnish and there will thus be no change in shade between the wet original and final varnished versions. What is more, these colours can be combined with any additional resinous varnish or other ingredients chosen by the painter. (A quote from the book Gianni Maimeri, Treatise on Painting.)
