Shawn found it hard to believe. The painting in front of him, with its realistic canvas and colors, was quite convincing. He couldn’t help but ask, “How did you figure that out?”
Valerie explained, “Original 17th–century still lifes used oil paints on canvas. While the painting techniques can be replicated, the aging process of the canvas cannot be faked easily. Then, you used modern materials for the frame, which is a giveaway.”
