    With the title like this I'm expecting the Tardis under old repainting.

      I've just been binging a load of Dr Who watchalongs ... this title, and then after watching, this comment both completely threw me! 😅

    So many details lost in the varnish discoloration. I can't wait to see this one in its full glory!

    This doctor comes across as a nice practical dignified no nonsense man The subtlety of the message of him being a doctor on the book is good - it says what it needs to say -nothing flamboyant - no ‘magical’ medical instruments I bet he was very re assuring for his patients

    You're definitely my favourite restorer at this point. Can't wait to follow the journey with this one. Cheers!

    It's always exciting to see the darkness lifted from these portraits. You are truly a patient man to practice this complex craft.

    Why did YT not show your channel when I was looking for Art Restoration Grrrr!!!! Nevermind loving how the channels growing, Patreon membership is in now. An early Birthday pressie for me, but confusion as to why I asked for this 😂🎉

    For those who enjoy watching but don't do work anything like this. When a solvent swab hits an adhesive, varnish or whatever material you're trying to remove, it goes from being like a dry nail varnish, through a dry jam consistency, to honey and then is cleaned off. Of course every material proceeds differently, but you can really feel that difference between dry, gummy and then gone. So satisfying to feel that solvent working and see what comes away.

    I'd be curious to know the COST involved in restoring the painting.

      I once avoided a painting I loved because I knew enough to know it needed a full restore and figured I couldn’t afford it.

    Off topic but I saw short of 3 monks overpainted. Is there a detailed video? Thanks

      Sorry not a full video of this one - it was before I started on UA-cam and just recorded the work in stills ..

  • @alberteisenmann1023

    I think the cost for full restauration of this picture is arround 1000 to 1800 pounds ? 🤫🙂

    Those gloves look quite heavy duty - more like riding gloves than ‘social’ gloves So perhaps again at a nod at his status with having a house with stables? And also subtle hint at a vigorous practical man who rides a horse rather than using a carriage day to day

    It would be nice to support you on Patreon but I can’t afford it plus UA-cam have increased their cost by $10 AUD per month which is a hike over 50%

    I’m glad to see you got rid of the rock music intro, it didn’t work with the theme of your channel. If you want music with your channel I’d recommend neoclassical, or just plain classical

      I watch a guy restoring a house in France and I liked his music enough for me to Shazam it - and it was called Come Tomorrow by George’s Town The intro is quite long but once you get into it it is very pleasant music only score to listen to
