Paint can dry too quickly, blister, crack, or become discolored. It can also lift from the surface if overheated.
Support
The support of a painting can warp, crease, weaken, or break due to excessive heat.
Materials
Extreme heat can cause paint and other materials to melt, which can permanently damage the appearance of the art.”
“Exposure to extreme heat can cause occupational illnesses and injuries, including heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and heat rashes. Heat stress can also impair fine motor skills, even in acclimatized individuals, which can lead to decreased performance and lost productivity.”
