    How is the mold killed on the paper to stop it dead? Lots of stuff is left out.

    I'm a little surprised that the glass wasn't replaced with UV blocking glass. The mount was modern materials and modern techniques - certainly, UV glass would further protect the the work.

    It needs the pinstripes on the matt, it is floating about in space in a frame that is too big.

    So you don't actually show the framed original in the frame at the end, only a digital composite? That's not cool. I wanted to see the actual painting in the frame with the actual mat and glass and all that, not a mockup done in Photoshop.

    i am curious why the frame cant be cleaned with a large brush dipped in alchohol, give it a bath with a brush. Is that because of the gold in the frame?

    • @HomeFromFarAway
      @HomeFromFarAway 5 днів тому +2

      possibly because of how loose the flakes and plaster were. old frames are much more fragile than new ones, especially after mould and damp damage.

    Shall we ignore some pillocks here who clearly are more interested in casting shade than learning...Meanwhile, I have often wondered how a watercolour could be saved and in this case, from such a gruesome fate! Thank goodness for the HVAC support and the patience! My quibble would be the actual accuracy of the dobbed cerulean blue in the upper left corner: a bit too much there and not enough light warm grey to tone it down? And I agree with some about the missing pinstripe on the new (very white!) wide mat. Some paintings deserve a more subtle surround. Overall VERY interesting insight. Sorry the digital enhanced idea did not impress me. It just looked, well, digitally enhanced and not like a watercolour at all.

    Would have liked to see this done by someone who can properly narrate and operate a camera... We don't even get to see the final product in a live shot... And wtf was the purpose of the aluminum foil? Doesn't make any sense... Most of the operations never get explained, the audience cannot get engaged because of the horrible camera and narrations.. I'll be clicking do not recommend..
