    wonderful, cathartic on so many levels - to be restored and returned, "back to where it's supposed to be, from its original creation," after all that time and damage. Thank you for sharing.

    “Every once in a while something transpires that pierces the armor and releases the butterflies” pure poetry. And then it turned into a commercial. Crushing. Julian, I appreciate that commercials are an integral part of staying in business. But this made me sad. Because I was reflecting on the delightful magic that happens when one is in a museum and sees a long admired treasure for the first time in reality. Butterflies. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoy your channel and am learning so much.

    I was amazed when you took the excess paint off the woman's face, particularly her left eye. Her "soul" seemed to pop out of the canvas! You did an incredible job and gave her back her true essence!👍

    His voice is calming! Not boring...but...if one is feeling anxious and wound up...his voice would lull you to blissful sleep. I've been so tired and suffering with anxious insomnia...put on his video.....and before I realize it I've fallen into a deep sleep.... Of course I rewatch as I find his work fascinating! If I was younger and had access to schooling to learn these techniques.. I'd be in like a dirty canvas 😁

    If a batch of paint isn't quite right, I must wonder - what does Gamblin do with the batch? Salvaged, sold as inferior product, or just thrown to landfill? It's hard to imagine the latter, but it's still a worry.

    I've wondered how you handle impasto. I have a 55yo painting that needs a bit a bit of cleaning and restoration that has very heavy impasto and I wondered how that might be done.

    Suggestion. It should be possible with sufficient scanner to scan the image and identify the colours. You would then have a breakdown of colours, how to create that colour, and everywhere that it is wanted.

    The eyes of the person on the painting with this touch of irony make real restoration not relevant: on the contrary, to m.h.o. "I'm still there...." he seems to say.........

    Wouldn't it have been a good idea to use some solution to bind the paint color better to the canvas? When cleaning I saw some color flaking off.

    I believe that in such cases, the use of AI to generate the missing parts of the image would be of immense help.
