I have PTSD. I struggle nightly to relax enough to sleep and avoid nightmares when I do sleep.  I am enthralled with your work, Julian. The editing of your videos are perfect; you know exactly when to slow it down, speed it up, do a close-up, etc. The ultimate pleasure is listening is your narration! Your explanation of the process along with your soothing voice is better than any meditation video. My brain melts into this fascinating process. If I fall asleep, I easily and happily rewind to continue to point where the content is new to me.  This is NOT saying your videos are boring.  In fact, the opposite is true. But when the grief from the suicides of my son & granddaughter overwhelms me, I find solace and comfort by letting your voice and videos bring me to a place of serenity.  You cannot know what a salvation your work is to me. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your gift with us fortunate enough to have found you.

"I can barely speak English " said the most well spoken person I've ever heard

Ooh we have another client in the video!!! He’s super knowledgeable about the painting as well, I would have totally missed that little inscription!

The detective work looking into a piece's origins is always infectious and I'm sure the client'll be ecstatic seeing some of those missing letters restored.

Hey Julian! I can't explain how much help you have been in keeping my artwork safe and beautiful. Had a piece done on paper distort due to using too thin of a sheet, so i used heat, moisture, and pressure to fix it. Came out better than I ever could have hoped, and its one of my best pieces yet. You inspire me in so many ways, and the way that you help artists and collectors is absolutely amazing. Thank you for everything! ❤

Your patience is astonishing.  My summer project involves stripping 1970's paint off of a 1920's curio cabinet.  I must admit there have been moments when I just wanted to drink the stripper and be done with it.  Every time I pick up ANOTHER cotton ball, I think of you.

the opening knowledge share between client and conservator was so insightful to witness.  thank you for including it!

Nice to see Kit in the background. When your schedule allows, it would be fun to see how her training is going.

I love how passionate the client is about this unusual piece!! It's always so cool to see people talk about their more niche interests, and this client is clearly super interested and knowledgeable

Thank you, client, for joining this video!

23:22 the look from Kit ❤

"Shipping a nearly-400 year-old piece of art? Sure, cut it apart with a saw and roll it into a tube, that's fine!" ASDFSKHL WHAT THE HECK

"What's the most common tool you use in your job?" "A scalpel." "Oh, are you a surgeon?" "Nope, an art conservator!"

"I can barely speak english" as if this man does not teach me new words every 5 minutes

23:24 haha Kit cameo! 🤩 I cannot wait to see the cleaning of this painting and cannot wait to see how the well-spoken client reacts to it!

at 23:23 the way she laugh at the camera lol 😅

I enjoy seeing the client too.   And as an art historian it is wonderful to see all of his hard work finding out more of his painting.

I love it Julian when you go into such depth and detail about the process. But I groan when I realize it's a two parter, and I have to wait for the final painting. I have never heard of a "funeral painting," and I am excited to see the painting emerge.

They did WHAT when they shipped it!? 💀

A super knowledgeable client and a Kit cameo? Looks like this is a good episode!





Spoiler alert, they're all good episodes.
