      Staples tear the canvas more easily since they're 2 little holes with a piece of metal pressed on the canvas in between.

      Same here. I have many female ASMRtist's I'm subbed to. This popped up in my recommended videos. I actually hit the tab by accident. I started watching, fully intending to go to another channel.
      That was about 4+ hours ago. This channel is just so interesting. I guess I'll watch it until the interest is gone or I run out of videos. Whichever comes first...

The Queen saw her self-portrait exhibited in 1851 (the painting in the video) at the Royal Academy and commissioned a second self-portrait which she gave to Prince Albert for Christmas in 1853.

    The major criticism of the recent cleaning of the Sistine Chapel ceiling is that the conservators removed layers of what was not accretions of dirt and grime, but painting a secco applied by Michelangelo atop the fresco that added volume and dimension to his figures. Have you ever encountered a situation like that, where a work was supposedly executed in one medium but had features added by the original artist in a different medium, that you had to be careful not to inadvertently clean away?
