Could you kindly tell us what you are applying at each stage so we may learn? I thank you so much! I’m in Chicago and lI bought some paintings I like off of a charity website and I’d like to do some type of restoration. I will NEVER have your skill set but maybe I can make them look better. They were fairly cheap so I’m worried about screwing them up. Thankyou for this video and if you can tell us what you’re doing that would be so very helpful! All the best from Chicago. ANN
The NFT is simply a method of authenticating the artwork and proving ownership of the artwork. Nobody can copy it or even steal it because of this! It represents a new use of the NFT. In fact we have effectively created a physical NFT - The chip connects to the NFT and is also embedded into the artwork! Making this a hybrid NFT/physical artwork!
Thank you. It’s wonderful to hear what it is you are actually using, and watch how it all comes together. Much appreciated. I get tired of restoration folks slapping solvents on, dabbing away with swabs, and hoarding the name of the materials they are using to make it all look like MAGIC. It’s NOT magic, it’s hard, careful, tedious work - with knowledge and experience to guide our hands. Thanks you for being a light in the darkness - it’s all about the art, and returning it to beauty once more. Well done you!
Thank you! very much appreciated! I have just re-done this video. Improved on the voiceover and the music was too loud, so I have reduced the volume. Please have a look at the new version - I think it is better! thanks again!
Good question. But in fact I did use tacks. The staples were only temporary. In general I prefer staples as they do less damage and have greater strength to hold the tension, also we use stainless steel which last very long. But usually clients prefer we use tacks to be sympathetic to the painting, also we use copper tacks and antique hand-made tacks - and sometimes we even save the original tacks and re-use them to keep the painting as close to the original as possible
I love watching art restoration videos like this. Though for me, it would be more enjoyable if instead of music, you leave in the noises you make while working on the video. Such as paint scratches, hammering and all that restoration stuff. But that's just my preference. It's your video and you do what you think is best for it. Hope to see more videos from you!
You are going to get many opinions on the sound. Some want music, some want just the sounds while you are working (which can be difficult with many cuts and jumps in editing), some will want voice overs for the exact processes and thinking what you're doing, some will want subtitles of what's going on if you're aren't as proficient with scripts and microphones.
