Him saying the previous conservator's work is inadequate, is equivalent to Gordon Ramsay calling someone a idiot sandwich. Julian is just more polite about it. Lol.
7:46 in case y’all are wondering. He got me at “which will be discarded.” ✋🙄 You truly have to listen to that quote from the beginning, it makes it funnier knowing he basically called the support useless. 😂
That timelapse of the washi kozo turning opaque was so cool, and it's even more impressive when you consider that on the most literal level, we're basically just watch paint dry.
I’d love to see a day in the life video. Showing how Julian jumps around to different jobs while others are going through, say drying washi or hot table treatment.
I would also love to see this! I often find myself wondering what other paintings Julian is working on during periods of “down time” with a painting. He talks about having to take breaks and come back to scraping or chipping off old varnish and such. It’d be awesome to see what’s going on during said breaks.
Most previous “conservators” were not professional many were just hacks as these paintings had a much lower value so the owners just wanted to pretty the painting up
Julian : These aren't tacks. They're nails. Us: Oh no! What fresh hell awaits poor Julian this week? (Grabs popcorn knowing this is going to be a good one!)
Not to sound creepy, but your voice for the voice over is very soothing. It is mellow without being monotone. It's one of the reasons I prefer to watch your videos over other conservators. Plus your explanation of the steps is thorough without being feeling scripted from one episode to the next. Thanks for sharing your processes with us!
So soothing, in fact, that one finds oneself complaining when the format is interrupted by apprentice tutelage dialogue. Then feeling just horrible about it.
I have been having trouble falling asleep recently, so I rewatch Julian's older videos on restless nights. It helps me calm down and sleep after a stressful day. It works so well I often have to split the video into 3 or more parts because I fall asleep so quickly. If Julian ever decides to voice an audiobook I will be the first in line to buy it 😄
The care with which Julian treats the artwork that comes into his studio has honestly inspired me to do the same with many different things in my own life, including taking care of myself. Sometimes when I'm tempted to be hasty or careless, or neglect something important, I think to myself, "Would a conservator do this with a painting?" If the answer is no, I have to step back and reconsider why I was tempted to act that way and take steps to resolve it. It's honestly a marvelous help for self-care. We only get one body, one life. We should take the same care with it that any conservator would take with a wonderful work of art.
I just like to ask myself, "is present you being kind to future you?" And sometimes you have to accept you didn’t have all the same modern tools to conserve yourself in the past and forgive yourself- you did do the best you could with what you had. 💛
My family has been through a lot this past week. My father is called Sebastian and born on St. Sebastian’s day. This video really struck me in ways no other could. Thank you, Julian. I needed this
May St. Sébastien cover your family with his wings and light. Remember the great Belgian commandos motto, " Resist and Bite!" . There's a great song by Sabaton with this title. It's about meeting overwhelming odds with mad courage , and terrifying an enemy of larger force.
Did I just wake up? Yes. Am I standing in my kitchen with bed head, eating a peanut butter cookie over the sink? Yes again. Am I watching a master work on a masterpiece? Also yes.
Did I just walk in from after work? Yes An I standing in the kitchen, half in office clothes and half in aftee work sweats eating eggs over the sink, also yes. An I questioning my reality. For sure.
What IS it that makes your videos addictive? The dedication to detail, the thoroughness, the ethics on display, the occasional very subtle sarcasm, the wit, the timbre of the voice - ? All of that and more - including one's investment in the emotions: the fervent wish that these often horribly damaged paintings can be saved even though you start to watch quite convinced that some of them are beyond human help - I love oil paintings, and probably that contributes to the fascination: but I bet many watch you who have no particular interest in painting.
Your narration and metaphors are an art on their own. Time and time again you show that we're not just here to see your brilliant craftsmanship executed on a beautiful piece of art but also to see a damn good UA-cam video in its own right.
So happy to see Washi take a named and starring role. The minute I saw you go to the drawer I, along with many fans likely, thought yelled "WASHI ! " like a good fan girl
@@Frikkz1 Yes I'm so very in need of calming down simply because I mocked that pointless reply. What am I, a 1920's woman in 'hysterics' because the man wasn't immediately bowed to? Bite me.
Man I never painted or drew. Watching you restore gives me a real appreciation for art. It's always a pleasure to sit back with a coffee ☕️ and see you do your thing. Reminds me of the days I put models together and needed patience and an eye for detail. Thank you again for another great video.
I always feel conflited when julian dose these many part series videos, on the one hand i absolutely love seeing a more indepth video of him restoring a beautiful work of art to its proper glory, but on the other hand when i see a multi part video i know that the painting we are about to see has really been through some troubles and its rather sad to see how poorly its been treated up until julian gets to restore it
Today is a difficult one for me, then a hilarious clip showed up on one of my Facebook groups, now this wonderful video showed up, I was in dire emotional need of these 2 videos, I almost jumped for joy when I get a notification of one of Julian's videos.
I am literally doing a project with paintings that involve tragedy and this was one of them!!! With this upload the universe is probably telling me something. I really enjoyed this part, I'll happily wait for the next one.
When I was a child, and when traveling around the great museums of Europe (my dad is a historian), it was always my task to find images of St Sebastian in museums
I appreciate how each video doesn’t skimp on details of the how and whys. That’s the most interesting part even if every painting gets similar work done.
Not really about the content of this video specifically, but watching this channel over the last couple months helped enhanced my visit to the Prado Museum in Madrid at the end of January. I've always appreciated art, but not much more than a "that looks nice" level. Watching Julian's work has helped me understand so much more of the technical aspects of fine art and I was able to view so many masterpieces with at least a slightly more critical eye.
I lowered playback speed to 0.25, and was finally able to glimpse a very quick view of a “conservator’s apron”. Unfortunately, the head was not in frame. Is it Kit, or someone else?
If the appearance of a Masterpiece hundreds of years after it was made is astonishing, imagine seeing it the day after it was created. What a Grand Use for a Time Machine.
Anyone else that hope one day Julian would allow Kit to do a painting from start to finish and to have her do the audio commentary. This would be amazing for the master to train his apprentice in all aspects of this amazing process
Expect to sit back and wait 3-5 years then. Apprentices generally spend that long doing the drudge work before they are allowed anything at all like the responsibility of being given a whole painting to do entirely on their own. They need to learn so much beforehand.
That's like expecting the hygienist to take over for the dentist. They may be training but they do the jobs the expert doesn't want to--and once they're proficient enough in tasks they're no longer an apprentice and seek out their own position. Aka Kit wouldn't be an apprentice if she did a whole painting alone.
I like to save these up over the weeks Julien takes to complete the project and then have the luxury of binge watching them all at the same time. It' extreme delayed gratification but so worth it. Wish I could do the same with chocolate, I'll have to buy that on the Julienfest day!
Dear Northern Light. 👍👌👏 I admire your discipline. But with chocolate it is simply not possible. At the moment I try to eat no dark chocolate and that's only possible because I haven't bought some! 😁🙈 Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Julian, I love to watch your videos because the are not only interesting but they are fun to watch. What I also enjoy, is when I watch another site of conservation, I feel so proud because I know what each step they are doing because “ I learned it from Julian’s videos”
Oh no! You left us hanging. I love to watch you putting the washi cozo l paper on, explaining what its for, etc. Its liked a much loved children's story that you hear over and over again, never getting tired of it. It gives me a sense of security.
It is always fulfilling to watch a technician at work who has mastered much if not all of their craft. Combined with your informative and pleasant narration your videos are well received and greatly enjoyed. Thank you
Julian really does give more credit to the theory that the smart, usually quiet and observant ones will always be the people with the sharpest shades known to man. Every video is him reading the previous conservators for filth and it's another reason why his fanbase is so strong 😭
Watching this channel over the years, I get the impression that restorers are like car mechanics. For every good one like him, there's at least 10 who should be working at McDonald's.
I love your videos! They are the right balance between informative and relaxing. This video made me wonder if someone hired an antique furniture reupholstery person instead of an art restorer. I helped someone do that a couple times and those looked like the exact nails we used. Thinly applied rabbit skin glue can be used to stick down fabric. Roughly woven fabric is sometimes used as an under support. A too small frame reminds me of the bottom of a covered chair. They even use varnish or shellac a lot to cover the wood. Of course, I'm sure not-so-great art conservators prob do the same things. Thank you for giving this painting the time and attention this painting deserves.
I'm worried about the fly specks! Without your insightful narration I probably wouldn't have been so conscious of them, but now I see and think about them. I can't wait to see if and/or how you conquer them! I'm sure you will with your usual thoughtful, patient and loving attentiveness to art and your work, Julian.
What I love so much about Julian is his incredibly straightforward and clear cut way of approaching challenges. There is never anything on the desk/table that isn't needed for the next step to take. As an artist I've been messy my whole life but since I found Julian I also found the joy of being more tidy and deliberate. It improved the quality of my work and the quality of my state of mind. Thank you Julian for being such an awesome human being sharing your masterful artistry and craftsmanship with all of us. Cheers from Germany :)
I wanted to let you know much I enjoy your videos. You’re explanations of what you do and why are wonderful. Your work ethic is amazing-you let your audience know what should and shouldn’t be done because “That’s just not the way it’s done”. I love it when you talk directly to us by looking into the camera. On one video you asked for a show of hands-and I raised my hand! And to top it off, you have the most beautiful speaking voice. I hope Kit is doing well. I know you are an excellent example of what a conservationist is. Thank you.
Julian could read the telephone book to me and it would be wonderful. Also, Alan Rickman is in the same category. So soothing and ultimately calming. And when you consider that these vlogs include watching paint dry and I am excited that there is a new vlog which INCLUDES watching paint dry …. well, bring it on!
So idk how many people here play video games but I think I've figured out why your videos are so comforting, you remind me alot of Leonardo DaVinci from assassins creed 2 your inventiveness and the way you seem to have a special connection with art
I might be the only one who wants this.. But I’ve love see behind the curtain. The admin, ordering supplies, dealing with requests, how the studio is organised and a tour etc. This is literally the most interesting business to me. I was saying to my wife yesterday, this would now be my dream job.
Awesome work. It seems that the "fly specs" actually are tiny cavities (or voids) in the paint. At 22:45 you can see that the cleaning liquid is filling up the voids, making a concave, shiny surface. The curved surface of a liquid in a small container is known as a meniscus.
Super prof.. Merci de vos techniques et enseignements Vous étés ma référence en matière de restauration de tableau Vous étés celui qui ma donner l'élan de faire ce métier. Merci !
Hmmmm lovely. I find watching Julian working his magic on these pieces of art so very relaxing and rewarding. Looking forwards to the second part. Once again, thank you for sharing, Julian and Owner of the painting.
I’ve been studying conservation for some time now. Your channel is so incredibly insightful. I really appreciate the step by step explanations of your projects, thank you for this work. The art world benefits from it greatly 🌺
I could watch you do this all day long. Even though I have watched all your videos, it's still super new and interesting to me to see you practicing your craft.
Pieces of St Sebastian are always some of my favorite artworks, I legitimately got sooo excited just from your lovely lead-in to the subject of the piece before showing it. Wonderful to watch as always!
I really love these videos for two things. One, the process and how interesting it is, and second, to hear Julian Throw Shade at the previous conservators
Julian, my back doesn't envy yours watching you bent over a table scraping,, cleaning, and painting. It hurts just watching. Kudos to another great video though.
I've been watching you channel long enough that I knew you were going to face the painting before you even headed over to get the washi kozo. With the rest of the likely less than good surprises ahead, at least the lining just had regular old failing rabbit skin glue to deal with.
I really do love this video. Great composition between documentary video and fine wording showing the problems and the massive amount of needed work (done right before would not have accumulated), without outright accusations. Satisfying all around - to watch you work ☺️
So my other half kept walking in, only to find me watching yet another BR vid. It became a bit of a joke… until he stopped to watch a bit of this one with me …. for 20 minutes! Ha! Got him!
So much thought, care, and attention to detail is given to not just the artwork but the presentation of your conservation to us, the viewers. Very much looking forward to how you deal with those "fly specks" and the outcome of Saint Sebastian!
Next time I'm in an argument I'm totally using: "unoriginal, undersized and inadequate." Julian's burns are legendary.
Best way to reply to an unsolicited dck pic
And conveyed so soothingly, so deadpan. *chefs kiss* Perfection.
Him saying the previous conservator's work is inadequate, is equivalent to Gordon Ramsay calling someone a idiot sandwich. Julian is just more polite about it. Lol.
Words I used to describe my ex after we broke up
7:46 in case y’all are wondering. He got me at “which will be discarded.” ✋🙄 You truly have to listen to that quote from the beginning, it makes it funnier knowing he basically called the support useless. 😂

Yes, I would love to see this too! I hope he sees your comment.
He should give Kit a camera and have her follow him around from project to project all day, it would be amazing
This ❤️
I would also love to see this! I often find myself wondering what other paintings Julian is working on during periods of “down time” with a painting. He talks about having to take breaks and come back to scraping or chipping off old varnish and such. It’d be awesome to see what’s going on during said breaks.
Julian was going easy until he found the second hidden tacking edge and now he’s just going savage on the previous conservator 😂😂

You shouldn't judge a previous "Conservator" with modern tech and opinion.
Most previous “conservators” were not professional many were just hacks as these paintings had a much lower value so the owners just wanted to pretty the painting up
Julian : These aren't tacks. They're nails.
Us: Oh no! What fresh hell awaits poor Julian this week? (Grabs popcorn knowing this is going to be a good one!)
It makes me want to riot every time I hear him say something about nails rather than tacks being used lol

I was really sad when this episode was over! Looking forward to the next one! 😀
I can't wait for part two!! I find the conservation of fine art on the channel absolutely fascinating!!
Watching you clean a painting still seems like magic to me!
Hmmmm lovely. I find watching Julian working his magic on these pieces of art so very relaxing and rewarding. Looking forwards to the second part. Once again, thank you for sharing, Julian and Owner of the painting.
I’ve been studying conservation for some time now. Your channel is so incredibly insightful. I really appreciate the step by step explanations of your projects, thank you for this work. The art world benefits from it greatly 🌺
I'm so happy you're back to this format! I love the voiceover asmr aspect much more than watching you talk to someone about a painting
I cannot wait for part 2. You are an amazing restorer.
This is the most excited I've been for a part 2 in a while it's giving serious cliffhanger
!!
Thank you once again, Julien, for a wonderful video. I am looking forward to the next video. 💐
Your videos are so addictively soothing. Perfect for a lullaby
I’ve been waiting for a video can’t wait to watch! I usually watch right before bed it’s so relaxing!
I could watch you do this all day long. Even though I have watched all your videos, it's still super new and interesting to me to see you practicing your craft.
What an interesting piece on an interesting subject. Can not wait to see this finished by the hands of our 'Master' Julien.
Found you by mistake and have binged watch for week never been interested in painting but I am now excellent videos 🇦🇺
Pieces of St Sebastian are always some of my favorite artworks, I legitimately got sooo excited just from your lovely lead-in to the subject of the piece before showing it. Wonderful to watch as always!
Cant wait for part 2
For keeping ads at a minimum, Julian deserves the Nobel peace price. I can actually relax when I view this channel
When a new Julian vid comes out, you know imma snuggle into bed right away
I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos.
Your voice is so soothing and your explanations are informative.
Thank you for all your videos.
I really love these videos for two things. One, the process and how interesting it is, and second, to hear Julian Throw Shade at the previous conservators
This is so calming to watch when I watch these videos
The dedication, the knowledge, the editing, the dry humor paired with savage burns…. Immaculate. Someone get this king a Netflix series post haste.
Why do your videos and voice make me feel better when I’m feeling low! Thank you for your work!
Julian, my back doesn't envy yours watching you bent over a table scraping,, cleaning, and painting. It hurts just watching. Kudos to another great video though.
Watching the arm motion in the scraping and thinking of the potential RSI injuries...
I love this episode and cant wait for part 2. You are so knowledgeable. I hope other conservators have as much integrity.
I've been watching you channel long enough that I knew you were going to face the painting before you even headed over to get the washi kozo. With the rest of the likely less than good surprises ahead, at least the lining just had regular old failing rabbit skin glue to deal with.
I love all of your conservations, restorations, but the religious ones are definetely my favorite ones.
Another great video. Wondering how Kit is doing! Would be neat to hear from her and how she feels her skills are developing working under Jullian!
I really do love this video. Great composition between documentary video and fine wording showing the problems and the massive amount of needed work (done right before would not have accumulated), without outright accusations.
Satisfying all around - to watch you work ☺️
So my other half kept walking in, only to find me watching yet another BR vid. It became a bit of a joke… until he stopped to watch a bit of this one with me …. for 20 minutes! Ha! Got him!
Haha got my husband the same way
I love how Julian is so over it but also so passionate about his job 😭
So much thought, care, and attention to detail is given to not just the artwork but the presentation of your conservation to us, the viewers. Very much looking forward to how you deal with those "fly specks" and the outcome of Saint Sebastian!
Great to see another video Julian. Cant wait for part 2!! 🙂
