A beautiful and composed dancer, delicately painted by a skilled artist. A picture of poise, yet behind the canvas lies another story. One that speaks to the duality of the sitter and the painting writ large.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. How he views a piece of art work isn’t even necessarily what the artist meant when the art work was created. Unless the artist wrote about it and he found it while researching the piece. I think a lot of time was wasted going over the painting. I especially am not interested in his assistants point of view. I have my own opinion and it took forever to get to see the art work. We all have an opinion. The chit chat sounded like filler as a potential new way to make changes in episode presentation if it goes over well. I was not impressed and feel if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.

    My thoughts as a ballet dancer on the pose: this feels like the classic "turn and incline" head position went slightly wrong. It could have been due to her neck getting tired and drooping over time, or being awkwardly angled with respect to the painter's eye, or due to the painter getting the angle wrong (or exaggerating it for effect). Generally, when we do a position like this, the intent is to elongate the line of the body and allow the stage lights to fall flatteringly on the face. That first goal isn't being achieved in this instance, and I'm not sure how I feel about the second point. That said, I do see the beauty in this painting despite/because of its lack of perfection. Just wanted to offer some insight from a dancer's perspective.

    @@dezinechic "Lines" are important not just in dancing, but in all kinds of art! Whether it's a dancer on a stage, a hero in a comic, or a cartoon in a kid's show, creating a strong "line" in the character draws our attention to it and helps our attention flow to the next thing the artist wants us to look at. This "line" is especially noticable when the character is performing some sort of exaggerated pose or action. Even inanimate objects can have a "line"! Think of a vase with a flower at the center of a still life, or a tree in the foreground of a landscape painting. These also have a strong "line" that gives the image structure.

It's so good that, despite how many paintings they handle every week, despite how their entire job is to look at dirt and smudges and grime and think about how they have to remove it, they can still step back, as artists and art lovers, and just appreciate a beautiful painting for what it is.

    I to watch this to fall asleep. It's not that it's boring, but it is calming and quiet and makes my head quieting down and concentrate on what he is saying, which is usually free of emotions that are troublesome for me.... It relaxes enough, and calms the anxiety enough that I can allow myself to let my guard down enough to fall asleep. Letting go when your brain is trained to be constantly vigilant for fear of getting harmed, is a huge thing for people with anxiety and or PTSD In case you didn't notice yet, I also have PTSD.

    Coming from an artist, this may not be strictly a poverty thing. Sometimes you have to improvise if you can't find the materials you need, such as a big enough canvas. And if you have other paintings that you are going to scrap (not every work is a winner) then it would be a waste to just throw it out. And I know I prefer to make use of what I already have rather than buy a new version of supplies when I have some left over. It speaks to the artists resourcefulness.

It would be cool to hear her give a voiceover with her thoughts or what work she’s doing though. Or maybe even a camera angle of the two of you looking/working on the painting that centers the painting. I love getting a voice over the retouching/cleaning montages.

    Oh my goodness, I giggled in delight at the patchwork of the back! To me, the story it tells is completely enchanting as I envisioned an artist who was absolutely determined to paint that exquisite ballerina and worked to ensure he could give her the presentation he desired. Amazing!! 😍❣️😍 I also adored listening to you and Kit (and thank you for a quick visit with her again as I had thought perhaps she was back at Uni again to complete her studies) discuss the flow and structure of the ballerina; your comments together were very insightful and thoughtful. I look forward to next time!! 👏🏻❤️👏🏻 p.s. Did you know I purposely visited your channel yesterday as I was missing you both and thought I might have missed a video? 🫤 Wonderful timing of today's! 😃 Little did you know when you created your YT channel that you would end up almost having two full time jobs, hmmm? 😜😂

    For me it looks like the ballerina has been painted on a smaller canvas first. Maybe the artist had to make the painting bigger to fit in a given frame with was determined by the place where it should hang on the wall. And then the artist was stingy with the extensions. Why using completly new canvas when there was enough old in his workshop? Julian often uses leftover pieces of canvas for strip lining or patches.

    The artist had painted a life-sized portrait. The stitching runs through the rim where the first version of the painting was fixed to the stretcher. Then the painting was enlarged at all four sides. It's not unusual that paintings had been made bigger or smaller if they needed to fit in a given frame. It often looks better if all portraits in a gallery have the same size.

    This reminds, happily, me of my mom and I when I was in my early 20's & she in her early 40's. My mom is brilliant, especially in math, (top 1% in her class) but because of circumstances (rural & religion) didn't get a much deserved college education. She married my father her junior year, did her senior year as a married woman and began a highly prestigious career right after graduation. At 20 she had me and thru it all away to be a traditional stay at home mom. This to she accomplished brilliantly. I managed to overcome the harsh religious stance of "NO college" but it came at a hefty price. To go to college I had to study what the religion felt would benefit them, no regard to what was of interest to me, and it had to be local. No 'going away' to college where I could be led astray. So I took there damn classes making sure to sneak in a class, or two, I wanted every quarter. Those classes... ART, lots and lots of art!!! As I became aware of the intricacies of art, the 'nuts & bolts' of why we like vs love some pieces and the beautiful history behind it's evolution, I'd run home to share everything with mom. At first I'd say... 'See this, look how it brings the eye around to that and the other thing'. Before long we'd be walking somewhere with art on the walls, ie a doctor's office, and she'd say 'Wow look how this artist used that so we'd circle our eyes around to see this'. Everywhere we went we'd study the art, really appreciating what we saw, so much more than as a casual or rushed observer. Ultimately, I talked her into taking an art class... watercolor painting. It's been 20+ years and a hundred art classes (at least) later and we still enjoy talking art everywhere we go. The only downside, she paints the pants off me. No but seriously, there is no downside!!!! She's really good at painting and decorating with color and I'm happy carrying supplies cuz it's good just to be together.

    What a beautiful painting indeed! And a weirdly loving story with how much care went into the physical construction of the canvas. The artwork sits in a sweet spot between Sargent and Schiele - a more or less "realistic" painting but with those stretched, exaggerated proportions. It's an unusual but wonderful mix. Love the delicate hands. Looking forward to seeing it fully restored!

    I've watched most of your videos now and love how meticulous, patient, and knowledgeable you are! I do have one question though: when you are scraping, why don't you use a large putty knife? Using that tiny scalpel seems so slow. I realize it's probably the best tool for many situations, but when you are removing softened rabbit skin glue or removing that cardboard in the Brawler fruit painting, it seems counterintuitive to use such a tiny tool. Clearly, you are an expert and have your reasons. I would just love to be educated so that your choice to use a tiny scalpel makes more sense. I love your videos!
