On this particular painting, I am using alcohol. Alcohol won't touch a lot of varnishes but did in this case. I usually start with water and...
Here is a new pair kind of along the same lines as what we have been looking at. Sorry the pictures are not better but both paintings are dark...
Thanks for posting that. I was somewhat surprised to see that she was working in such large strokes. However, this is a very large painting with...
I am not sure what he meant either. Depending on the amount of damage to a frame, it might be more cost effective to repair than buy a...
A large old oil painting of that size could take that long. It really depends on how big of an area you can work at once. Some modern paintings...
