WHY DOES THE CLAESSENS LINEN SOMETIMES TURN A CREAMY COLOR?
The front of oil-primed canvases can occasionally turn a creamy color as a result of the linseed oil used in priming it. If the canvas does not get exposed to light or is placed behind another panel, it will show a slight creamy hue. This natural phenomenon can be alleviated by exposing the panel to daylight for a short period of time.
