Bringing Death Back To Life Part 2 - AD FREE
🕑 Added 2023-07-16 05:00:02 +0000 UTCLike every collector of artwork, every painting lives a life whether the artist envisions it or not, and throughout that time a piece can be subject to any number of factors that can undermine its longevity. We labor to keep our minds and bodies sharp and healthy and that is precisely the role of the conservator for the painting. Some paintings require minimal attention and maintenance and others much more drastic interventions. For this collector's painting of a deceased monk, the task was simply Bringing Death Back To Life

It’s interesting to see you use a new/unviewed medium like the the fill in medium. You mentioned using it because of the darkness of most of the painting, and I wondered since the face and the flowers were lighter was the payout of using the usual fill in medium just not worth the time it would have taken to use both?
Removing the old varnish never gets old, I could watch you do it for hours...oh wait, I have. It was good seeing some different takes on a couple of things, the tinted fill in medium and the stretcher, there's still so much for you to show us!
