- Опубліковано 19 чер 2024
- 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.

How Oil Paintings Are Professionally Restored | Refurbished - Навчання та стиль
fan of Baumgartner Restoration here, just looking at the comments. LOL
me too lol
Me too!
Same here.
me too!
Same here 🤣🤣🤣
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...
Katsu paper...just saying and of course I guess all conservators talk smack about the last guy, worse than the NBA
I don't agree, average compared
Baumgartner is like a modern day sophistication of the art restoration industry. Stripping all the fancy studio equipment, cinematic framing of the footages and the drama of Julian's voice over, its just Sara Drew's same work. both are absolutely intensive and impressive indeed.
You can tell she was inspired by him. 🤗
Washikozo
Another Baumgartner fan here but I definitely think we should get MORE restoration videos on youtube. I would watch them all like crazy.
Totally agree with you 👍 💯
me too.
I don't know if anyone would be interested but on Khan academy there is whole "chapter" about restoration in subject art history. It's one youtube video per lesson but from there you can find more art channels with more restoration. Aaaaaand it's for free and you don't even need an account
I would like to see more.
Hello, if you like restoration videos. Maybe you will like a Channel by the name, Figueiredo art restoration,, I hoppe you enjoy it. Take care
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"
hahaha i was thinking this. beautiful work but to poop on the previous restorer so much was silly. they have heat activated linen patches lmao.
Nanotech is the future!
Beautiful work; excellent detailed process and narration!
SHE USED BELGIAN LINEN AND KEPT THE CANVAS LINING INTACT! SHE'S MY FAVOURITE 🤩
Baumgartner fan 👍🏼
Shirk! Art is haram Faizah lubaba
@@ozy7777 then why are you watching it lol🤣
Ha ha apart from the guy doing the patches with one big square. I was like ‘ick, Julian would have traced that hole and cut out a tiny patch to fit just the hole’.
Her voice is absolutely terrible and only made more annoying by the low quality audio. Insider needs to get it together, either learn how to do a "tape sync" like every other publication or just don't bother.
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.
@@jugheadjones5458 There are different types of criticism.
As a long term Baumgartner fan - she did a fab job! She needs a heat table though, itd probably make their job easier
Ayo, a fellow "Baumy" fan!
literally same here, also a new mic is needed asap xd, much love lads
Yeah I came here to compare her to Julian
Omg! Im glad im not the only person who watched to compare to Julian.
This was my exact thoughts too, I'm glad I wasn't the only one hahaha
I wonder how terrifying it is to hear her say "oops"
Not more than hearing it from a surgeon lol
@@rexs.5188 That's true lol
Lol
Not terrifying if they fix the damage.
Since they restored it
@@deznuey1327 yeah it’s just a joke, I’m sure they can fix their mistakes.
Me: sees them using tacks
*Julian approves*
Yeah but they reused the old rusty tacks which add no value instead of new rustproof ones. No wonder they didn’t used spit technique! 💕🐝
@@amazinggrace5692 they did a great job, and those nails probably weren't as rusty as you are thinking if this professional put them back in.
Ayy thats my name u stole it give it back
@@jules2708 what
Me too
This job spells OUT ANXIETY
Nah, they have studied and practiced a lot. The problem is when you get a task you don't know how to do.
Actually no matter how much you study you still get a little stressed because you have to be extremely careful there are so many scenarios that can happen and it requires a lot of patience. There have been many occasions where even senior restorers with a lot of experience have seriously messed up.
BAHAHAH the fact that all of us are baumgartner fans is hilarious. hi squad :)
Hi-
Baum- what fans?
@@Tookatto legit about to comment the same thing
OMMMG HAI GUYS LOOOOL
@@Tookatto he has a really popular art restoration youtube channel. just look up baumgartner restoration
I have no clue who's Julian and what you guys talking about or who's fan yall are but glad y'all happy.
Same, I am also confused as to who this Julian person is and what these people are fans of but they seem to be happy about something.
@@shimmyalot he's an impressive art restorer, his videos are soooooo good and he does it all by himself. he explains the whole process in great detail and especially the reason why he chose a certain method. i highly recommend
ua-cam.com/users/BaumgartnerRestoration
@@shimmyalot Baumgartner restoration
@@shimmyalot his voice could easily send you to sleep also lol
@@kinstar agreed, I started watching his channel shortly after I made that comment and it became my nightly routine to watch his videos as a wind down before bed because his voice is so soothing, lol
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.
Ouiji board?
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.
@Shed Thank you very much for the wishes ❤️
It's great that young people are attracted to this profession. Can one find reputable restorers with whom they apprentice?
That's cool! What are you taking up in uni to be a conservator?
@Myrt Myrtle Sadly I don't although I should
@@hlrn4141 You mean classes? I am in my first semester so we have chemistry, biology, design, physics, sculpture, photography and history
Ok big fan of Julian but maybe we should focus on how talented she is instead of comparing them not trying to be rude
Ok
Indeed. Both have their own methods and styles. Both get different types of paintings..both have different ways of doing videos and both have different education levels,experiences and knowledge. You can’t really compare them.
@@Lana-Moran you just did....
@@fairwitness7473 he or she isn’t comparing the two, he or she is just saying how they are two separate people
Right??
Conservator: focuses on preserving the original artwork
Restoration: restoring a piece back to its original form and function
i love how she's telling us what she's doing like a we're going to do it ourselves
I have no idea about art but im sitting here like, oh maybe i could do this lol. Talk about delusion
@@Noise_floorxx 😂mood
@@Noise_floorxx 😂😂😂
I restored an original Rembrandt drawing with about two inches of damaged surface, seen the end result and the client's approval is truly rewarding to say the least, thanks for the video brought back memories of adrenaline running moments, you have a beautiful studio and a great team! Congratulations!
None of us will ever see or care. there was another comment about someone who restores and what they cared about is what the customer wanted. focus on that rather than youtubers
@@ILik3PH0T0 I've been plundering the intent of your reply but failed to see or understand the meaning of such comment, sorry! Am not the dullest tool in the shed.
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.
Me, someone who knows nothing of art restoration, "ah good. She uses tacks. Good call"
Lol yes
I don't know why I am even watching this, I am not an art conservative. But her voice is surely addictive
Julian Baumgarner for ASMR Voice king.
Ouch
should watch Baumgartner Restoration if you want addictive voices, the man is a god
😂 I told myself ok I watch few seconds and now i watched the whole thing
@@birdv.378 he is good like that, and he has a great sense of humour
She is a PROFESSIONAL. Seeing comments compering her work to anyone makes me feel ..... Pretty sure she knows her work and stuff.
Lots of love for the conservator❣️❣️❣️
right lmfao it feels a little weird to see those kinds of comments. like ppl have different techniques. just bc hers might be different than what you’ve seen doesn’t mean it’s wrong 😭
The comment that I was looking for!
This video is basically made for roasting the previous restorer
what other ones especially julian bc that is the whole video
the previous restorer didn’t do anything wrong though? just a different technique
(unless I’m thinking of a different video)
True haha
@@pumkinpatchwork i think they mean the previous restorer of this painting that made some mistakes
Think in the years since the last restoration materials and chemicals have changed for the better.
Im not a Buamgartner fan, I just got this recommended.
Same, I’m like “what?”
Sameee

The man in the canvas looks a lot like the actor Charles Dance. I find restoration work fascinating - it appeals to my love of art, history, and of science all in one package. All of you have such talent and dedication to your art. Amazing work!
The patience, detailing and the skill.. And considering the pressure of being an invaluable art piece, the calm. She is incredible. Hope my child grow up well like her.
Sara the conservator: I use a small tacking iron to iron down the edges.
Baumgartner fan: So you don't have a heated vacuum table.... hmmm.
But really they did an excellent job.
they need to get that table. the canvas is not flat, you can see the light bending in awkward ways.
Jeez, I hate that there are people out there who keep calling themselves Baumgartner fans and keep comparing people to him in every single restoration/conservation video. It's exhausting and frankly quite tacky. The majority of us are not professionals in the field, and the little we know has been filtered through the lens of that one man. The methods he uses are neither unique to him, nor are they infallible. I don't understand how people can consider him so precious to the point of basically badgering everyone else with his name!
The same way, I can't understand those who come to disparage him and his reputation. Criticism aside, some people just keep throwing shade and not stating facts as to why he's not well-regarded. Don't just dish it out, bring out the receipts. At the end of the day, his work is fully reversible.
Amen
But can she restore Whistler's mother that Mr. Bean ruined?
Mr. Bean restored it
Impressive, what an outstanding amount of skill required. I wonder what means will be taken to preserve this generations defining artists a hundred years from now?
one thing i love about restoration is the dedication to restoring the frame along with the painting whenever possible
Me: I can't wait to see the final result!
the final result: and here is the fi-
Netflix Ad: *Allow me to introduce myself*
I want to thank you all, the Baumgartner's fan that commented on this video, for introducing me to such a genious content creator. His calmness really get to me quick.
Thank you so much
I just used the same sponge for dry cleaning a sampler piece at my museum :) its crazy how much grime it can pick up!
this is beautiful!! she was so caring to the painting and made sure to retain the original colors & paints without tainting its beauty :)
I'm glad that this profession has got more exposure!
It is amazing how to restore one painting, there are SO MANY things to be done.
And it is amazing they have a whole TEAM to do this ❤️ it shows that every single aspect is handled by a professional ❤️
Old paintings are really amazing
It's amazing how this was done...I've always wondered how you restore old paintings like that...the work looks meticulous...but you can tell it's well worth the effort by the finished product...
Wow. What a gift you all have to bring back the beauty and life to this piece.
That's like a brand new painting! I'm so fascinated by these techniques, and it's lovely to see the use of old, sturdy tools :)
This is so interesting to me. What a cool and important job these people have. They took such care and put so much detail into the work. Very impressive! You have created an art restoration fan here!
The potrait painting looks like Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister GOT)
I was about to say. Thought I'd check comments first 🤔. I too, can see Charles Dance similarity
And I couldn’t remember the name of the actor, of whom the portrait bears a similarity.
Thank you.
Exactly 😂
It always amazes me how filthy these old paintings are and how clean they look after they are restored
Beautiful work and the painting looks amazing without any weird over painting or any other strange things going one.Great Job .
I feel so relaxed watching this. All the gentle movements.
Great vid! And great work. Only thing I'd say to people, is to not shine UV light on your skin like that - wear gloves! And ideally, safety glasses that protect from UV.
Hello good evening, how are you, my dear
Hello what is your name my dear can you know me
Can you answer me?
I had the same thought. I wondered if she knew.
@@fododude Are you male or female
Lovely.. So beautifully fixed and explained in detail.
Having watched Julian (Baumgartner), i was able to interpret what she was doing in much more depth and also notice differences in approach.
they did an incredible job of restoration, on both that beautiful frame and the impressive portrait, which is truly captivating. i would have liked to see much more of the retouching, which is invisible to the eye - so well painted. thank you much. 🌷🌱
Bro this video is honestly so educational & still not boring 😳 Love it
Just crazy see how much detail was lost of the years. Reminds of watching an old movie on modern screens, same art just better.
Just a Baumgartner fan here and I have no qualifications to say this but she did a great job :) but ngl, I’ve never appreciated Julian’s microphone this much before
I love watching these restoration videos. It is a meaningful job and I am so admire of their works.
I’m just glad UA-cam made me watch this ❤️ this is so satisfying to watch ✨
Amazing work! Very intricate and time consuming. I'd be interested to know roughly what it would cost to restore a painting and frame such as the one in the video?
Can’t wait until somebody restores this again in 125 years
What a wonderful process. You do Good work (understatement of the year !). Thank you for posting this.
I do not have the patience for this job. God bless you guys for all your hard work!
No matter what is done in these other restorations I will always have the baumgartner institute as my place of reference. They did a great job.
Then you got that woman who tried “restoring” that painting of Jesus.
This is wonderful and really captures all the right steps - the face was wonderful ! Thanks
As a collector of porcelain and terra cotta figurines who sometimes needs restoration services, I find this fascinating. Obviously not the same techniques or technology, but still attention to detail and expertise. Thanks for sharing.

Baumgartner Restoration fans: MY TIME HAS COME ✨
I always find it interesting to look at stuff like this.
This is so satisfying to watch. It calms me down.
Fascinating - I hope more restorations are filmed from the Center Art Studio.
I just remember Mr Bean’s painting restoration on seeing this. Is it weird ?
Nahh.. Not just you.. Believe me
Me too
Hahah same here
I'm a student of the Baumgartner School of UA-cam Restorationists. I approve of this restoration..!
This is so cool! I've always wondered how oil paintings are restored. I like all aspects of art, I've been sketching, drawing, and painting since I was just a few years old.
The final result is wonderful, great job!
Sara, will you ever do a Q&A someday, somewhere?
I always find these restoration videos so interesting and satisfying. But for love of god, turn your phone off if you're going to do voiceover again.
Hello good evening, how are you, my dear
Yes I love Baumgartners work!! Ya'll (that's Texan for all of you) did a good job....
Just purchased a painting by Curt Meyer-Eberhardt and a painting by Harry Craig Smith, through an auction. Both paintings are exciting by these notable artists. They both need cleaning and some restoration on the Smith painting. Very excited about learning more about art restoration. Thanks for the video.
So satisfying to watch! Beautiful job.
Started out sounding like she came from the same as Baungartner and the narration was almost exactly what he says. I thought she did well, but was less than please by the owner’s work. The frame looked fab and the retouching was great. 💕🐝
Literally came here expecting a bunch of people from Baumgartner Restorations and I was not disappointed. You made Julian proud with this one :)
I enjoy the restoration videos. They relax me into a lovely sleep. I do appreciate the skills and talents of the professionals.
wow! amazing work! But I can see a few wrinkles in the canvas. I thought they would treat that and make it nice and flat. But the transformation is amazing💫
Her: We do this to remove all oily substances on the canvas.
Me: Isn’t this an oil painting?
👁👄👁
The actual painting was protected under varnish
Amazing work...unfortunately they have to “change” the original a bit because of age...but the results are incredible
What a very cool process. The skill is very challenging and you make it a passion. I love that.
This combination of craft, skill, and talent is perfect for my meticulous, perfectionist soul. I am in school for accounting precisely because of these characteristics.
They have like 5 people on 1 painting yet in Baumgartner, there's only 1 people doing all the stuff.. They're doing a very nice job tough 👏👏👏
And I suspect he films himself too, LOL.
I miss Julian’s paint palette....and his varnish application 😳
Another, other Fan of Baumgartner Restoration here, I've seen them restore so many paintings, it really is amazing! I wish there were MORE restoration videos so I could WATCH them!
Amazing and well done!! I wiag you showed more of the actual work on it.
If I wasn't a pharmacist, I would definitely do something with my hands; wood, jewelry, restorations... Maybe I will have my own little workshop of some kind, for fun. :)
Insert Baumgartner comment here...
Srly, she did a good job.
Beautiful job! Really enjoyed this video, thank you!
I want to learn how to do this!! Love it!
Man, GoT must have been lit if someone painted a portrait of Tywin Lannister 125 years ago.
As I watch anyone else’s painting restoration I think: “I wonder if Julian Baumgartner would do it this way?” 😝
That was spectacular!! Thank you for sharing your process. :)
This was surprisingly relaxing to watch.
The Baumgartner fandom can be pretty toxic sometimes!
As an art conservator myself, I find some of this comments so funny just for the fact that most of them come from people that watched a couple of videos and now they act like pros.
I think much of it comes from not realizing how many ways there are to skin a cat so to speak. In addition, many professionals have certain preferences on how they do things and this causes then to create a false dichotomy between right and wrong. People need to realize that the process of conserving anything is unique to each item and the demands/expectations of the client.
Honestly true. Question, genuinely what do you think of Baumgartner's conservation methods? Is he doing a fine job? The end results looks fine for me but I'm not a conservator so idk how to asses his methods.
All the Baumgartner fans in the comments section including myself know exactly what she’s doing
That's a lot of work. Thank you for your efforts.
I recall seeing the restoration of Salvador Mundi by Da Vinici. Such an incredible job she had done with that piece.
Even though it's just a painting it looks like she's actually removing dirt of him
Wow
A absolutely brilliant work on painting and frame. Remarkable results after hours of painstaking attention to detail. 👏👏👏
That was fascinating. I've never seen a painting restored.
