Sara Drew is a professional art conservator who will be walking us through the restoration of a 125-year-old oil painting and its original frame. The painting is a portrait of Edmund Holland by Willard Leroy Metcalf from 1895. Sara will go through the details of five layers of cleaning that need to happen to restore this painting and the meticulous attention to detail she needs to have to ensure that it's done correctly. She'll also be responsible for patching any tears and rips and retouching any areas where paint has been lost.

I wonder how terrifying it is to hear her say "oops"

When you're a hard core fan of Baumgartner restoration and you know exactly what she is doing...
She did an amazing job by the way...

Me: sees them using tacks
Julian approves

Another Baumgartner fan here but I definitely think we should get MORE restoration videos on youtube. I would watch them all like crazy.

Restorer in 2120 - "This painting was restored by some other restorers, and they for some reason decided to use water based putty, which is odd considering that now we use nano-particles to let the painting heal itself"

I've never read the comments in videos like these. It's so heartwarming to see Julian being mentioned so often and being appreciated. I hope he is well liked by his peers too. I've never met him but I'm feeling a little proud.

@apis1156 5 years ago

Me, someone who knows nothing of art restoration, "ah good. She uses tacks. Good call"

I wish there was a way for the artists to know how hundreds of years after their death, their works of art are still being cared for and restored to their original vision.

@em_c1484 5 years ago

As a long term Baumgartner fan - she did a fab job! She needs a heat table though, itd probably make their job easier

Conservator: focuses on preserving the original artwork

Restoration: restoring a piece back to its original form and function

@callie9535 5 years ago

i love how she's telling us what she's doing like a we're going to do it ourselves

@mercidee1977 5 years ago

I'm always so amazed at how much the original varnishes can darken and yellow with time. You don't realize how much of the detail has been lost until it's gone through a restoration process like this.

As a future conservator i feel terror and satisfaction while watching these kind of videos... I'm in my first semester in university and I'm still learning the basics.

Edit: I am in second semester and i love the university. Although we have web classes i still managed to love them. It is really interesting as a subject and it saddened me that i did know it earlier.

Edit 2: It's the finals of the second semester and the university is one of the best things in my life so far. And all the subjects are really interesting as time passes by.

Edit 3: Now finals of the 4th semester, one hour before art exams. This semester was the most exciting one because the subjects were amazing and all my personal life turned 180, now i feel great. I love what i do more and i get more creative every day. I love this university. Still 2 more years to go!☺️
P.s: I have to say that i still feel terror while i have to deal with works of art but I've learned that this is okay.
