Hi! I have a large collection of old tubes of "Georgian" oil paint. When I say old, they are mainly about 30 years old. I used to paint with oils, but have used acrylics in recent years.
I have been thinking about painting with oils again and was wondering if anybody knows if the paint would be OK to use after so long in the tube.
