William Merritt Chase Restoration 

I'm here in March of 2022, thinking "Wow, this clip is short."

"BAUMIES" - i -

Yes a Baumie(!!) in May 2022 , entranced, returning to the beginning, going mmmn yes, yes....mmnnn that's right.😁❤️

What kind of old glue was removed? What types of fabrics are in play!? What if he never tells us?!?! 😰 oh... yeah... we know cause we’re back from the future. ☺️

January 2023!

I stretch my canvas's with a staple gun. It's easier, fast, works fine. The only reason I would see for using tacks is tradition. Thing is, if staple guns were around back then artists would have been using them to stretch their canvas's. Didn't da Vinci sketch a design for something similar to a staple gun?

We love him for his attention to detail among his many other redeeming characteristics. To restore a painting to as close to the original is a mark of integrity. I agree with your point, there were no staple guns at that time, thus the use of tacks. Makes perfect sense.

Jason Grace like

@@nelsonx5326 Staples are kinda messy. With tacs it's easier to put them all in a nice neat row. Staples also rust over time, so no good for longevity.

Me, a regular watcher: how did I miss this one?

Haha, believe it or not I actually have one of my old palettes framed and hanging in my house (it started as a joke but everyone who comes over loves it!)

Hahaha

I know! You should check out the movie- it's mesmerizing.

Baumgartner Restoration What a lovely notion, where can I watch it ?

You can rent it on DVD from Netflix otherwise I'm not sure...

Baumgartner Restoration I will look into it, thank you.

don quixote Thank You so much dearest 💕

Well fancy seeing you here! So this is what you do when you're not checking out abandoned malls?

This is Dan Bell. A wild dan appeared!

This is Dan Bell. I

👌

All he did was apply filler, then match the colors and fill in the missing parts.

Lol same

Riiiighhtt

alexis seely OMGGGGGGGG YES! I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT

Yas

THAT PART.

Izzy Sauls Tremendous pressure though, I should think

Probably paid boat loads

K Lilly M hahahah I used to work like this while I was an apprentice, changed industry because of a salaries in proportion to the work achieved

Correct! It's such a great waltz. The scene from the movie is stunningly romantic!

Haha!

It’s a painting it ain’t that deep

Knew some misunderstood hopeless romantic would chime in and ruin it

Klever Girl yessss

Sweety let me tell you something i found out the hard way, no one can restore you other than yourself. You have to become the conservator yourself, cause no matter how much someone tries to "fix" you, it won't work, unless you make a conscious effort to change. Your partner is not there to fix you, they are person of their own and have their own demons to fight. They may become your assistant or your teacher in this "conservation process", but your are the master of yourself and your own work and you decide on the changes that happen to you. No amount of care, affection and effort from outside will fix issues that stem from the inside. Love yourself and love others.

This comment makes MY soul happy ;)

Peyton King Thank you for saying that! I couldn't put it into words!!

Thank you! I worked with a talented videographer.It's difficult to condense something so involved and detailed into a video but we were both happy with the results!

And they've only gotten better since...

WAT

Nooooooo

Ahahahah

Omfg me tooooo😂🥴💔

SHIT

Thank you! I truly do love the work- though sometimes it's tiring and frustrating. And yeah, the music is kind of awesome!

Veronica Quinn, my anxiety is flaring and this is so soothing to me as well. My lil OCD, ADHD, Bipolar 💓 is calming down.

I have been having anxiety attacks lately and this is so relaxing, it will be my go to video for those hard times. It's awesome to find this bits of relief

Vico Rocha Vidal You’re ignorant, grow up.

Oh yes, i forgot that only North Americans get mental illnesses ;///

@@brooklynshaw559 wouldn't that get me, mental problems as well?

Me too.

The painting was knocked off the wall by some contractors and it fell through a chair. That said, it had been damaged before and poorly restored so I had to remove all that bad work first.

@@BaumgartnerRestoration wow that is amazing

@Kitten Lyric Ya there LLc insurance would sky rocket. They would be the one to have to pay for the restoration.

Kitten Lyric .... At the moment it happened it is likely they were concerned but not particularly devastated until later when told of the painting’s importance and value.

James Smith sometimes the insurance is so expensive that the government will make up to it

You have time! Do what you love!

Hi vicky!!! its never too late for doing something what you love! God bless you! 💓

Never too late because in 10 years time if you practice and study this you will be able to fulfill your dream and if you don’t you will just be 10 years older without fulfilling ur dream

As long as your heart keeps beating you are alive! It's never too late to do what you love and while doing so you'll live a longer and healthier life because happiness it's the best medicine. In ten years you'll be 74, there is no way to stop time, it's up to you how you get there. As you said, we only live once. By the way you should know that Jose Saramago started writing later in life and he ended winning the Literature Nobel Prize at age 76...

Nice seeing you here even though it's been a year. Learned a lot about maya from you

What an amazing eye for color he must have to be able to perfectly blend his paint for color match.

Sometimes when they arrive at my studio in terrible shape I'm speechless too!

@@BaumgartnerRestoration Haha! I've been given commissions at times and my response was 'you want it fucking when??'

YLL with the guy?

I just had the same experience. So beautiful im in love

With who? The painting or the guy??😂😂😂

_mb_r damm I was thinking the same. I love this man, not that I am attracted romantically but the work he does for art makes you love him, it’s hard to explain. I was watching this and I was thinking I just love him.

Tell me about it! The video is really abridged and doesn't show all the examination and testing that's done before I work on the piece. Luckily things almost never go wrong.

Totally! Sometimes I wish I could live inside that song!!

Couldn't agree more! :D

RIGHT! Like, I'm a little turned on...

I studies studio art for 4 years and then apprenticed for 3 or 4 years before I was allowed to really work on any paintings. That said, I'm still learning every day.

Baumgartner Restoration Out standing work with much preparation. Beautiful!🖌🎨

Well, she is a stunning painting ;)
