Hi guys! Thank you for being here! If you enjoyed the video, please take a look on the channel, there are a lot of videos that you might enjoy as well. www.youtube.com/@art-conservation Thank you.
What a joy to see that the glue test had worked so well and could be used on other areas! And what a sorrow to realize that other areas of paint were so much more fragile than expected. But, again, what a joy that there was a solution to even that fragility! ...yes, I think I like this video format very much. It emphasizes each step on the journey to the painting becoming whole again. What usually causes paint to detach from canvas, in your experience? I could imagine that maybe gesso that was made badly could deteriorate between the canvas and the paint. Or I could imagine that the canvas breaks down, pulling away from the paint. Or I could imagine that the paint dries and flexes away from the canvas, somehow. But what is the usual reason? Thank you for taking the time and care to show us this process.
Thank you for your lovely comment, and I am happy you enjoy the format, there are several reasons that make the paint detach, has to do with several factors, during all the years of this painting, in its long life the painting was exposed to several ambient temperatures and grades of humidity, the canvas is almost a living thing, so it contact and expands because of exterior ambient factors. reason 2, the binding medium used to mix the pigment, several kinds of oils were used in past, and with years they all react also, with the process of oxidation, contracting, and expanding. imagine this happened so many times during all this almost more than 400 years. naturally, the oxidized gesso/paint sometimes detaches from the original canvas. and there are more factors, but these are 2 of the major ones.
In future, perhaps you could answer questions like this as you narrate a future video. That way we can all benefit from the time you take to answer the questions and we have an incentive to watch future videos.❤
Well done, Eduardo. The care and precision of your work is awesome and lovely to see. Love that you treat each area individually and not as a monolith. This was a joy to watch, not only for your work but for the excellent quality of your videography. Thank you for sharing this my friend and for bringing us along for the ride.😊😊
Thank you, Vickie, good to know that you are curious about the ride. this is in the beginning, but I think that for this painting, I really would like to feel joy, making the videos, with a bit more time to explain the steps I follow in this specific work. Sometimes I am in doubt, if you think, it is too boring not having more things/steps in the video, but I do feel that some of them deserve a bit of more time because in my point of view, they are very interesting.
@@Figueiredoartconservation It's hard to describe it but you have, I feel, hit the right balance of explanation, detail, and reveal in your videos. You don't show too much, therefore you aren't boring, you don't show too little, therefore keeping the viewer engaged. I've said it before, I feel like I am in your studio sitting alongside you while you explain what you are doing because I am interested. I think you've found your groove with this. Keep up the good work.
Was textile preservation part of your Art studies? Is that technique of stiffening/strengthening the fibers on the canvas used often in restoration? or was that technique a chemical attempt to revive the oil paint closest to the canvas to it grips the canvas again? heh, whenever I see that many different chemicals being used to make something up, I get ready for some big Voo-Doo. ;)
Uiiiii Voo-Doo must be too complicated for me, I am dealing with needles, but I want them to still be attached to the syringe, HeHe... I have some textile conservation and cleaning notions, but I must admit, I didn´t put that much into practice till now. The original canvas is not in bad condition, I applied that glue, so that when heated, can glue back the paint layer, back to the canvas, the intention was not to give strength to the canvas but to glue the paint back again. later I am going to apply a new linen.
Thank you, Jenny, Normally I do work on one painting at a time, only if I do have to wait for times like waiting for varnish or retouching to dry. I may advance to a second or third painting,

there are several reasons that make the paint detach, has to do with several factors, during all the years of this painting, in its long life the painting was exposed to several ambient temperatures and grades of humidity, the canvas is almost a living thing, so it contact and expands because of exterior ambient factors.
reason 2, the binding medium used to mix the pigment, several kinds of oils were used in past, and with years they all react also, with the process of oxidation, contracting, and expanding.

I hope all is well, I just found your videos today and have really enjoyed them so far.
Thank you so much for your message. I am feeling better now, and I will be back soon.🙏

I like to know more about the make up and preparation of the glue, please.
Good Presentations
Thank you, Roy, happy you enjoyed it. 👍

Very nicely presented, I'm enjoying your videos. How many paintings do restore at a time?

Good Technique
Thank you, Koll, for your comment, it is great to have you here in the community.
