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

I talk a lot about how the materials and techniques I use are reversible and here is a prime example of that. I had mended a small tear using the bridging technique that I am very fond of.

Through exposure to air and light the once clear layer of natural resin can turn yellow, brown or even gray. This change begins almost instantly but at a very slow pace such that the daily viewer of a given painting may never notice. Yet once we begin to remove the varnish, wow, what a difference. It strikes me as a fundamental misunderstanding of the artistic pro

Check out this fantastic piece. It was painted for the dust jacket of a novel and luckily the original painting survived. Over the years the original varnish discolored a bit... yellow snow... no thanks. This test window shows just how dirty this painting is! | Baumgartner Fine Art Restoration
