I've seen cars that were given multi-thousand dollar "Restorations" that sold at auction for tens of thousands of dollars and were given a re-restoration by the new buyer. When the cars were torn down by quality and excellent restoration shops that knew what they were doing and had passion in their craft, they would find rust holes in the frames and bodywork just filled with old newspaper and sprayfoam, paint that didn't bond to the metal and was coming off again the second a part was removed, wiring that was hacked apart and bodged back together, engine that had misfires....just a lot of crap work by people that took the money and ran, didn't care about what they were doing. The person that owned said bitch jobs never noticed the poor work either because they just bought it for clout and didn't see that everything was wrong. Same with this painting here, I bet it found a new owner and the person seen the damage and how nasty it looked and knew that it had been bodged and wanted it done right.

I don't know what it is about this one in particular, but I think this is truly the best I've seen from Julian, even though it obviously wasn't the most technically challenging. Fairly challenging, though, with all the paint coming off and the terrible overpaint. Maybe that's part of it, the terrible condition of the painting contrasted with how Julian was able to retrieve so much of the original paint and put it back together. But also the skill of the painter in showing the beautiful satin and so-delicate lace, the lovely skin tones, and that she looks like such a nice person. Clever and kind, indeed, and maybe a hint of humour.

As a French direct descendant of Marguerite Salmon, I find this video quite moving, showing the delicate features of a lady of the XVIIIth century, who was living in a very old and charming feudal estate close to ours. Thanks to Julian and the owner of this painting for saving this "Lady of the Manor" from oblivion.

It just hit me for the first time-though I've watched all his videos-that Julian's approach to the back of the paintings is a literal representation of how he does not cut corners, whether on the back of the painting or in his overall work ethic.

I think this is one of the best retouching jobs you've ever done. I worked in TV post production and matching texture and colour the way you do is incredibly difficult. The final painting looks alive in a way it didn't before the restoration. Kudos.

Madame la comtesse was a very handsome woman.The artist who painted her portrait may not have done hands very well,but her face,and particularly her eyes,are beautiful.When you were retouching the area on and around them,I felt I was looking into a living person's eyes.This portrait was indeed well worth saving and you did so,beautifully.

I didn’t even notice the sequins until you started retouching them! It’s amazing how restoration restores what your eye should be looking at instead!

I think that his video for the abstract paining (totally different/totally the same or something like that) had him trying to finish the project in a week. Another had him mention how he usually breaks up scrapping/retouching sessions into smaller chunks on different days so that he can come into it clear headed. Of course more involved projects like panel paintings can take several months to finish, but generally it seems to be 1-3 months. Barring a couple of smaller ones with only minor damage.

As an artist, I'm always grateful for and humbled by the incredible respect Julian gives to the original painter.

You freed her smile and success of achieving a gentle elegance in her life. I agree about the bottom hand, it seemed disproportionate, and the shadows too dark. Lovely. Thank you.

It’s so weird watching these as an artist. Truly the artist who painted this piece was incredibly skilled. The face is so beautifully painted and her skin is just impeccable. Looking at other artists’ work I’ve noticed some have trouble with getting subtle nuances that comes with skins undertones, lighting, shadows, etc. Portraits are by far some of the most difficult pieces of work to make as an artist. It takes so much skill to even come close to being realistic, not taking into account the likeness.

Bernadette Banner skillshare push: nice fellow youtube crosspromo.

Thank you for the music interlude. It makes the program more interesting. I so enjoy your choices of colour that end up being perfection and replace the damages with renewal.

"but it's my studio, I get to decide how I dp the corners" Julian be wilding out geez

This really might be one of your best restorations yet - well done Julian👏 She is ✨GLOWING✨

The folded corners and tacked down canvas on the back make me so happy!🙂

Each and every time I watch Antiques Road Show, and see the vintage art work that needs a good cleaning and retouching, I think of you! For I know, just from your videos, how wonderful that will look once you do your magic.

that zoom in on the corner fold....beautiful. never knew that was my thing.

I really would love a Bernadette and Julian collab, my favourites on youtube!

That was so cool to see the creator featured on your Skillshare ad! I’ve been following her for years now! I can’t wait to see the peacock dress made!

The Peacock dress was never Bernadette’s thing.

Unfortunately the peacock dress project was dropped. Note it wasn't Bernadette's project either, but the project of friend of hers named Cathy Hay. She goes in great detail on her YT channel as to why she chose to end the peacock dress project :)

There's always something emotional abt seeing it at the end all fixed up

Watching the restoration was very moving. I could almost feel her coming back into being. It was absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

When you're putting on that initial resin layer and you're not actually isolating anything, perhaps you should just call it a "Saturation Layer" instead. Because the point is to saturate the colors.

m idk saturation is mostly used in this context to mean filling something

Maybe call it a simulation layer, because it’s meant to simulate what it will look like when it’s fully varnished.

I found your channel a few years ago, it was something totally outside anything id be interested in, but the way you teach the viewer, explaining the most complex of things, the claim spoken word and the production of the videos drew me in. Awesome work, keep it up !!

You always open the largest present last.... It's shows those who didn't give you the biggest present that you appreciate what they have given you just as much.

My goodness. The retouching is incredibly. I wouldn’t skip forward. I don’t want to miss even one dot as you apply them which covers the ugly scar and starts to reveal a beautiful unflawed face. The finished product is spectacular!

I would never skip over Debussy! Thank you for the beautiful art Julian!!!

Wow Julian this is a masterpiece. You've outdone yourself.

Your touching up is my favorite part. Amazing skill at making the damage disappear. I could have watched another hour of retouching.

I rarely comment but hearing Julian's skillshare ad be all about Bernadette Banner made my day. These are the two people I go to KZread for comforting, luxurious videos and it makes me happy to see the support
