Everybody loves a big painting, in fact one of my professors once said that "big isn't better, it's just better." And he meant that even if the painting is banal and about something uninteresting like shoe laces, if it's big it commands attention and must be reckoned with.
Luckily this big painting isn't boring or banal, but it is big. And as any painting gets larger the complexity of a conservation does as well. From the duration any one procedure takes, to the equipment required to treat the painting and even little things like handling become obstacles that must be overcome.
Thus far most of the videos address smaller works that never face these challenges. I wanted to take the opportunity to show how a conservation changes as the scale does. - Розваги

Joy. Until staples and polyurethane show up
@@fiveseven15 Oh no, no that again
Vandyke Brown Gang rise up
I know you
omg i listen to both of them when i sleep
I always thought these painters just had a thing for dark, desaturated and depressing colors. Turns out, it's grime.
Same! When I went to Italy 5 years ago, I've visited some important cathedral that had various artworks displayed and I was stunned by all the colours! The paintings were so lush that it almost made me felt like a sinner. I was thoroughly shocked.
Just like how classical sculptures were supposed to be painted, I actually like the white marble grim look
Mixture of grime, yellowed varnish and some pigment discoloration.
I shouldn't be surprised, but I am, at how often much of the grime is tobacco smoke.
If I knew how to ain’t I would use those colors, as a way of setting the atmosphere most of my painting would have. After all, they are supposed to reflect off your emotions or lack thereof.
Me, in my underwear on a beanbag chair eating cheetos:
"Ah yes, the Belgian linen! Excellent choice! Exactly what I would have done!"
Ron?!?!?! Hahahahahaha
hahahahahahh omg, i'm dead

why isnt this the top comment this made me laugh irl
That is a severely underrated comment you have right there....
I have to imagine a very corpulent black man not unlike big smoke watching this video very carefully and with full attention, commenting this with the utmost vigor.
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly
His mouth full of tacc
Imagine if he swallows one OML
Laughed out loud at that 😂
And with beard, he a snacc.
Lmao
Solid gold comment!
When he put the nails in his mouth I was like "oh funny haha, now what does he really do"... Well turns out he really did that.... My god
I'm glad my partner isn't an art restorer....
Thought I was the only one who thought that lol
it really is an alchemy

"average person eats 3 tacks a year" factoid is actually just a statistical error. The average person eats 0 tacks a year. Tacks Julian, who lives in a studio and eats over 10.000 tacks a day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.
Mm, Cookie Clicker flashbacks.
underrated comment (nice reference)
Same as "the average person has less than two legs" or "the majority of people have more than the average number of legs".
I think tacks Julian and spiders Georg would get along quite well
Giulia mathematically seen-> doesn’t make sense at all. An average person wouldn’t even eat one in a year...
My grandfather, in alarm at seeing the colors radically change: What is he doing?!
My grandmother who has been taking care of her mother and grandmother’s paintings for the last 30 years: It’s called cleaning Phillip, maybe you should think of doing that sometimes.
get fucked phillip
My girl did not have to ROAST him like that but SHE DID. Iconic.
Pfffft roast him like a turkey dinner, gramma 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hahahaha!!! Go Grandma! This made my day!
that did not happen
The way he considers if future restorers will be able to restore the painting from his work is so amazing...even hundreds of years later, his art, his work, his dedication will hopefully be examined by another of his skill level and care.
He has a video where he had to go back and re-restore a painting he'd previously done. I seem to recall he still managed to throw some shade around.
@@TheRealColBosch I’ve seen that one lmao I think he still did a pretty good job though
By then they’ll be like “eugh, Belgian linen, how amateur”.
@@TheRealColBosch do you remember what vidéo it was?
The restoration of Anne. Great video. He pats himself on the back a few times. 😂
Julian: "if it does need to be taken off in the future, it will be much easier than a big lead patch"
wow the shade
Julian is such a master of subtly dragging the previous convervators
Luckily the potential recipient of that shade is probably already dead.

Julian: “ **puts tacks into mouth** this is an old technique whereby the tacks are held in the cheek”
Me: “lmao yea right ok”
Julian: *doesn’t say “I’m kidding”*
Me: wait what ???
I WAS WAITING FOR THE "I'M KIDDING"
I couldn't help worrying what would have happened if he had accidentally swallowed any of them.
God Lord it was hard to watch that part with tacks and not thinking Good Lord he's gonna swallowe it, oh nooo.
He has such a (please, please pardon this) tongue in cheek type of humor, that it took a long time to realize he wasn't just bullshitting! LOL
That's exactly what I thought 😂 I was waiting for him to say "sike" lol
baumgartner: so I’m gonna have to bridge this repair
me: ah yes, no doubt with strips of Belgian linen
Katie C me lmao
No fucking polyurethane get that shit out of here lemme whip out my conservative grade reversible water-soluble archival adhesive
haha
Katie C so you were wrong even after watching the video? individual fibres not strips
Andreas Rydèn You are not familiar with wit?
I'm not gonna lie, the trick with tacks in your mouth was pretty neat. And if you sneeze, you basically turn into a nailer :D
If I were doing that, I would be at risk of BEING nailed IN THE MOUTH because I inhale really sharply right before I sneeze 😅
Thanks mate, you made me laugh out loud, was having shit day 😁
"I did not have a beard when we started this..." is my favorite line in this narration. What a mood
Someone else: * puts tacks in their mouth *
Me: you idiot wtf
Julian: * puts tacks in his mouth *
Me: there is no end to this man’s talents and skills. Amazing
Me: Wait wh-
Julian: *puts tacks in his mouth*
My anxiety: *Spikes like hell*
@1ConnectT1 this is gold
That is how you are supposed to do it. What a stupid comment. It's how humans have done it ever since nails and tacks have existed. And likely before then.
@@Luckingsworth Not really.
Because most people arent trained to do it, as well as the fact we are taught from a young ass age to NOT put sharp objects in our mouths.
@@elvingearmasterirma7241
Which world do you live in where you have to be specifically taught how to put a tack or a nail in your mouth without hurting yourself..?
When he said " spitting tacks " I expected him for some reason to just cartoonishly spit the tacks straight into the wood
SAME SAME SAME
the power he holds is not foolish enough for this action
Omg same 😂
You expected that because you know that he could've if he wanted to.
Now that's alotta damage! i thought it was a skit so i was surprised but he cONTINUED 😭😭😭
Ok but DOES THIS MAN KNOWS HOW ATTRACTIVE HE IS?!?! His delicacy, he's manner of talking, his hands, his face, his KNOWLEDGE is attractive. Idk if you understand but DAMM
bro yeah.

@@sydssolanumsamsys that's how you know he's really attractive. If a lesbian thinks he is, then he is
This guy and Bob Ross are one of the few people who have probably made people into an art major. The video was really cool, thanks for the work
Can confirm, one of my friends ended up moving to the other side of the world in order to get her masters in art restoration and I refuse to believe she wasn't influenced by videos like this one
I love how he always talks to his viewers like we're all gonna be little art conservators ourselves one day. Kinda wholesome
Yeah, it really makes me want to study to become a conservator, I mean, at this age I could go into that....
Oml it’s like we’re all his little kids coming into his work and he’s showing us what he does
@@chloevaughn9755 woahhhh that's right! i never thought about it like that...
What? You mean you aren’t?
(The one kid who touches everything)
9:28 "And so I have to go with my scalpel and scrape. EACH. AND. EVERY. ONE. OF. THEM. OFF."
This man is such a massive mood
I think the polyurethane scraping broke a part of him
That bit made me chuckle
y e s
Some insect poo is stubborn.
My favorite part is when he cleans the painting; it's just so satisfying.
and my second favorite is when he removes the lines/cracks and brings back the softness of the Blessed Virgin Mary's face.
I like how he sounds pissed off and tired but trying to keep his composure, like you can hear how tired and stressed out he is
Other conservators: polyurethane, staples rabbit skin glue, lead paint patches
Julian: hold my conservator grade, fully reversible, water and alcohol soluble, archival adhesive
A real conservator would never put lead paint patches o polyurethane in an art work, but staples can be a very good choice in some cases and also rabbit skin glue is totally reversible.
Your welcome
With a descriptive listing like that just for the adhesive, it makes you wonder what his coffee order looks like.
Lucía GC you’re
Lucía GC Excuse me, I sought to make a contrast between ineffective, archaic or simple materials and Julien’s state-of-the-art adhesive, not detail what a “real” and “not real” conservator would do.

You’re welcome.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how straight his work is on the Bridging technique to hold in that patch... holy crap... They are literally PERFECT and straight...
Did you notice he lays them in every other woven row? Insanity. The best kind
Sometimes I get emotional thinking about that original artist who, unknown to them, will have their work be so lovingly treated and whose original vision will be so faithfully followed. As a student training to be a research scientist, part of my job someday will be to leave behind research and data for the next generation to build upon. I can only hope that my own legacy will be treated with such care, and watching Julian work on these paintings has influenced the respect with which I treat my predecessors in my own field. Both art and science are conversations that span centuries, and if you know how to listen, even long-gone masters can have a whole lot to say.
I like to picture a guy 200 years from now restoring a painting that Julian restored and is like "omg there's nothing I hate more than Belgian linen"
"tacks? tACKS? by far the worst and most inappropriate method of conservation, j u l i a n, staples are the only option"
(of course they only know its julian from the neat belgium linen tacking edge held down with tacks)
The inception painting?
this man used BRIDGING?!?!?!?!
Sacrilegious !!!
Who spits on their tacks?!
Julian: nobody’s paying me for speed, they’re paying me for quality.
Amen.
Well the time it takes is included in the price
Shit my teacher is grading me on both there’s no end to school’s inaccuracy to the real world
Cheap, quick, good.
Pick two.
@@vicenteisaaclopezvaldez2450 ofttimes it's pick one
@@caseybouquet not really. Julian is just an exception because what he does takes long no matter what and it needs to be good. If I take a week to finish some quality reports but the deadline was 3 days I'm getting reprimanded or fired. Especially if their not even that good
My grandfather was a carpet layer. He used the same hammer and method to spit the tacks. I always wondered why the tack packages all said sterilized.
Julian looks like he'd be a really good serial killer...Like dexter levels, I mean he's soooo neat. He'd never get caught!
Maybe he is you never know haha
@@fsheee3458 just one time he makes a video and it’s a human body

I love restoring things and using power tools to do it. This video was on my feed and I thought painting restoration?? Give me a break… So I watched a few minutes of it thinking big whoop, but the longer I watched it, the more I began to understand the intricacies of each and every step and the type of personality equipped to manage such a restoration. Your patience, your knowledge and your equipment, blew my mind. Never did I think I would make it through 10 minutes let alone the full length of this video. Bravo my friend… Bravo!
I like fixing things myself but unfortunately I was born without the patience gene I'd crack up after 5 minutes of scraping and put my foot through the painting..
Good thing these restorations are online, the future conservators masters will be able to see your methods and the why you used said methods to conserve the paintings. To me it's fascinating the work that is needed and that is put into these projects. Great job Julian !
"You may be thinking
A: Thats disgusting.
B: What about all the saliva."
THIS MAN DOESNT EVEN CONSIDER DANGER AN OPTION THATS HOW GOOD HE IS.
My first thought was danger.
My first thought was “huh I’ve seen my dad do that before and just thought he was doing that to hold them, huh”
The tacks he was using didn't look very sharp, a duller variety from what I can see
Ripley the Skull dog I still wouldn’t want to swallow one. But I’d be even more worried to inhale one and have it stuck in my airways 😱😰
@@simselchen2293 That's what I was thinking. I've known a few experienced, professional seamstresses who held pins in their mouth, and inhaled them. One woman got a pin stuck in her lung, and she had to have surgery to remove it.
i love how this man is so professional and serious and we’re in his comments like “daddy tack man clean MY surface grime off
i hate this comment with a burning passion
Oop-
Nobody says stuff like this and I hope that you’re ashamed of yourself
yeet this skeet I mean.....
Who tf would do such a thing I'm wheezing 😂😂😂
This man speaks like a lifelong friend who has experienced more than you but never judges your own experiences and only wants to see you do well and improve as a person
as a dentistry student its surprising the amount of dental instruments you use
We use a fair number in my physics lab too!
I love how passive aggressive he is to people who tried and failed to retouch it in the past
its the best part about the voice overs ngl
Aka passionate
If it's worth doing it's worth doing right
my favorite part of watching these videos is judging the (bad) past conservation attempts as if I have anything more than basic knowledge of art conservation
It seems to me that this is an expression of pain that the painting has not been treated in the best possible way.
"I did not have a beard when I started this project"
Well damn...
I actually went back to check, lol
@@strange144 Same!
Hum, yeah. Now better take of that beard again! 😬
Hah, I noticed at 4 mins in - "man, is Julian having a rough week? starting to get some scruff on!" I admit it wasn't till I noticed a fair amount of growth on his neck, about 2 mins before he mentioned it, that I realised it was deliberate.
I started watching this hoping to make myself fall asleep... I just ended up getting immersed into the process and almost finishing the vid
These videos make me want to be an art conservator so much. It looks like something I could focus on for hours every day for the rest of my life without getting bored. Really makes me wonder what local programs there are near me or how else I could go about learning that.
seeing julien talk directly to the camera felt like something i wasn’t supposed to see
kaeli hes done this before and it’s always unsettling, i feel like he’s staring into my soul
Like peppy pig looking at you straight on

yeah me too getting them out will be painful
Thinking about that gives me anxiety
Yeah me too i only thinking how painful that is to get them out
Funny story uhhhh
I was helping my uncle who is an electricion
He was doing this technic to hold big nails
He accidentally swollen around 4
And my uncle grew up in a farm so he refused to go to the hospital
So he decided to eat as mush as possible
So they could get out naturally and he had around one week of pain from nails that damaged his stomach
So my family convinced him to go to hospital then he had to go get surgery
So yeah it is painful lol
what min ?
i was waiting for him to turn and wink at the camera when he straight up ate the nails
He's one of the few people who use *literally* correctly
"I'm pretty sure they used a white glue like Elmer's"
Me: Sweet Mother of Christ what were they thinking?
Watch his video of removing a thick layer of polyurethane from a painting.
were you also eating chips while saying that?
I never ever even thought of any restoration working or school and now I am offended by some douchebag using elmers glue on a 100 yo painting
Me too!!! And WHITE LEAD PAINT!!!
@@rescued1103 this one really got me, only because of my very minimal knowledge of paint.
Me: takes note to always roll up a painting paint layer out
Also me: will probably never transport a painting in my life

Me: takes studious notes on how and when to retouch a painting

'Hell yea imma use this knowledge!'
But then I realise that I rarely use paint...
And that I've been transitioning to digital art for the past three years...
And when I do use paint, it's mostly watercolour on a very tiny scale...
'well never mind then'
Am I the only one that kinda likes those cracks? It just adds to the vibe. You appreciate how old and delicate that painting really is. Of course sometimes those cracks can be very disrupting but overall it adds a certain amount of depth and vulnerability
omg what if he accidentally swallows the nails? I can't stop thinking about how easy that could be.
Julian: I’m gonna be doing a edge lining using
Everyone: BELGIAN LINEN
me before this channel: Belgian linen who is she, I never heard of her? 👎

I can't wait to see the vibrancy of this painting with the old varnish off, and so very exited to see the fully finished piece!
imagine you’re cleaning a painting like this with all those cracks and a chunk just falls to the ground
i love how in all of these videos Julian is like defending his methods, like how many conservator-experts are critiquing him in the comment section?
Thats how he so good. He always imagines the old guys from the Muppets talking shit about him in the corner. "Did he just eat a nail?" "With any luck he'll tack him self to the painting. Ahhahahaha"
Oh I know- but the results speak for themselves clearly
It happens. There was one time that one of his videos got to the front page of reddit and the top comment was someone claiming to be an expert conservator and criticizing his work super harshly and unfairly. It was obvious that they'd never actually watched or listened to any of his videos because a lot of what they criticized were things that he explains in almost every video.
Other conservators exist, you know.
Somebody needs to make a compilations of him roasting past conservators lol
He does it so nicely too. I'd be like " what stupid feckin' eejit decided that lead paint and a hanky were appropriate canvas repair mediums?!"
What Julian says: "Someone in the past covered this painting in polyurethane, which is about the WORST thing you could cover it with."
What Julian means: *Gordon Ramsey voice* "WHAT the everloving SHIT was going through this person's head?! POLYURETHANE??? A MORON. A FUCKING DONKEY. AN IDIOT SANDWICH."
* lovingly * we stan a shady bitch my dudes
YESSSS
I don’t perceive it as roasting. I reckon it’s more that the earlier conservational work has been made at a time where the modern day’s materials, techniques and technologies weren’t available or even thought up/invented.
My guess is that the lead paint may even be a century old or so (but it’s just a guess).
Everybody's gangsta until Julian starts pulling out the stapler instead of Tacks
26:32 I was expecting Julian started to spit those tacks like a cartoon character's gun machine.

Me: *confused and scared screaming*
Why, you are presumably behind a computer screen at home and he is at his place of business. plus he is an art restoration expert not a Delta force operator.
Your meme is stupid.

@@sofiasalsabila9264 I mean, it is a very niche joke which you have to watch number of his videos to understand.
Elmithian bro i literally just watched one video before this one and get the joke already. i got it before i even watched the video because i saw the merch. it’s not that hard to understand.
@@Elmithian I'm new it doesn't take much to understand
I love how this painting takes so long to clean that we literally watched him grow a beard
I don't know why I'm here. But it's 2021. Yet here I am, watching painting restoration.
"I did not have a beard when we started this project."
me: *goes back and checks*
Which minute is this?
Same.
to those too lazy to go back, he did not XD
Around 4:20 for the no beard part, look LEFT
I went back and checked too! xD
"I did not have a beard when we started this project."
Actually had to go back and see
👏🏻
@@Robberator Same here.. He really didn't have a beard :-D
I love his dry humor!
@@LeeDee5 Not dry enough, needs to be but on the hot table and vacuum out the moisture !
How on earth have I only just found this channel? Superb. Many hours of joy to come 🧡 Thank You! 🧡
Just stumbled onto your channel, and I'm finding these videos very soothing and relaxing, it's amazing to see the difference just after the cleaning.
so when is he going to getting his own Netflix show?
Never
There's this Japanese show where they show crafters and restorers, honestly, Netflix should either buy it and translate it or make their own version but going around the world and every season is another country dealing with same subjects but within their tradition
@@guguinha246 which is the name of it?
I'd binge watch that.
@@misteriomisterioso111 just search for japanese book restoration it's the video with at least a 1 million views, i don't remember them showing the program's name in romanian(?) aka writing something with the western alphabet
Julian: *pours tacks into hand*
Me: "Ah yes, alrighty, time for the superior tacks, go Julian-"
Julian: *puts the handful of tacks into mouth*

Julian I love you but what?
@@chrisding1976I think they meant is as "I love you but what the [expletive]"
Dude, ...i would love to buy your pallet as a piece of art! It tells me how much you tried to match any colour you've painted! It's ART!
I'm jealous. I realize it can be a long tedious process, but to have that intimate connection to the piece and the artist seems very fulfilling. Keep up the amazing work my friend.
