How do art forgers operate?
<|assistant|>
Art forgers typically operate by either copying existing works of art or by recreating works from photographs or other imaging sources. They will also make changes to a painting, such as altering the colors or making additions or subtractions, in order to deceive experts. They may also use techniques like using paintings of different ages and combining the layers for a faked aging effect. In some cases, forgers may even recreate famous works from memory or use fake techniques, such as spatular damage.
