Tom Keating On Painters E06 Restoring Pictures 

Thank you for all six uploads, which I snarfed up in one sitting.

Such a knowledgeable and humble man. Having those traits together isn't valued much these days.

Thank you for this wonderful upload. I apprenticed under the Italian Master Restorer Aldo Pistidda, from the early to the mid 2000s. a 12-14 hour day, 6 days a week was not unheard of. Artists suffer at their own sacrifice - the agony and the ecstasy of the studio!~

Tom was a working class hero . and never had any heirs or gracies . he still lives on and i hope more classes will be found i know he did van gogh paintings to.

14 yrs a beer a day that's a lot of beers man :D this dirty old forgotten pub painting is still worth something after all then.

For me one of the simplest and inspiring and challenging forger/artists of his generation. A Master!

"This is a spirit varnish and should be applied spiritedly"

Absolute love for this this Man's art and literally work for art! Nonetheless an Master of and on Arts!

Tom Keating was an art restorer and famous art forger. He reckoned he forged over 2000 paintings.

Fascinating. Wish he had been my teacher.

What an amazing old man

respect. thanks for the upload.

This gentleman could do it all. I only wish I could have studied under him.

What a difference cleaning made!! Wow.

This man really knew what he was talking about, you could see by the way he went about cleaning this painting that he had done it many times before. If I might add please do not try and clean paintings Tom makes it look so easy it is not.

Such a knowledgeable man

Sort of bloke you could talk to in the pub over a few pints, great company I bet

Wonderfull and so informative thank you very much

Pears' Soap, yes!

Very interesting!

Went to his grave the other day did a bit of tidying up

My father painted many pictures years ago that I love but are now flaking. Over several moves I have noticed that the canvas is slacker than before. I am not wealthy so I cannot afford to have them restored now, but would like to stabilize the paint so that there will be something left to restore. What do you recommend?

Oh so sad he didn't get all 14 years of pints.

alchemy

Baumgartner's head would explode if he saw this. 😝

his voice sends me to sleep... a bit like his artwork and the opening music.
