How about a bit of art conservation today…. The removal of oxidized varnishes is one of the most satisfying procedures we do in the studio. Here, I’m using a solvent gel to break down the old natural resin, which enables me to remove it from the paint surface. This gel is formulated after testing the painting to determine the correct ratios of solvent and detergent to make sure that it’s safe for this painting. | Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration

Retouching. The best and worst part of conservation. When everything is going well it’s an amazing feeling and time stands still. When it’s not going well, it’s miserable and never seems to end. This painting had two large tears in pretty important places and after addressing the structural issues the retouching focused on reintegrating the image. This one was challenging, delicate and exciting. With so much of the figure missing it’s harder to make the damage disappear but that challenge is wha

One of the most common requests for videos and questions I get is about the reversibility of the materials and techniques that I use compared with those from years past. Well head on over to YouTube and watch for yourself. I think Rh video I revisit a recently re-damaged painting that I conserved 5 years ago. You can see exactly what it’s like to reverse modern conservation. In addition, I’ll reconserve the painting with a novel approach to preserving an inscription on the verso. | Baumgartner F

The retouching process is arguably the most fun and difficult part of any conservation. While it’s exciting to literally reassemble the image and make the damage disappear, it’s also the thing that the viewer will see first. All of the structural work is hidden and often behind the image yet the image itself is the whole point. If the retouching isn’t spot-on then no amount of other work will matter to the viewer. This painting of a canal had a pretty nasty compound tear and required a lining to

The moment of truth comes after the varnish is applied and one can check the quality of their work. The two main things to watch for are color matching as sometimes colors can shift after the varnish is applied and of course we want any retouching to look just like the painting, that is; be invisible. In addition one has to be mindful of the surface of the repair particularly if there was a tear or hole as any textural deviation will instantly reveal the conservation work even if the color match
