On my Christmas vacation we visited several museums. The whole time I was like: "Hmmm yesss... see this canvas is distorted. You can see it through the raking light. Over here this painting needs cleaned and revarnished. Clearly it has browned with age."
this summer, I was in the Alte Pinakothek with my grandmother, who used to give tours there, and the most interesting things were not the art pieces themselves but what was wrong with them. there was this one room with many giant paintings, towering things- and I could see horribly cracked paint on all of them, and also telegraphed cross supports whose edges showed through in the cracks. There were also multiple pieces whose varnish had browned, and I could tell the original must have been so bright. It amazed me that my grandmother was completely oblivious to those issues despite having an intense interest in art, and being a former tour guide.
Can't agree more. Now, every time i'm at an exhibition or a museum i can't but see the old varnish and distorted canvas and cracks, especially with works of old masters. It makes me think how different the masterpieces could look like if conserved properly
@@comradewindowsill4253 Well, she had never seen them any other way, so it felt natural to her, just as it feels natural for us who watch Julian's videos find it natural to look for those problems. :)
I do this too! Was watching a video about ancient cave paintings and was thinking how much easier it would be to see the original art if only they could receive a Baumy Restoration.
I just wanted to point out how nice it is of Julian to always explain the techniques he is using as if it's the first time he is showing them. And also doing it without sounding bored or annoyed or even a word-by-word scripted explanation the he just recites in all videos. There are always some different points here and there that make it confortable for long-time viewers, and very informative for new ones! You're the best :)
Yeah, it's the best! I watch a lot of art RUclipsrs and some that make stuff physically. I always love it when art people explain every time, what they're doing- if you're a long time fan, it can get a bit repetitive But I've seen so many videos, where the person will say "I talked about this in [x] video"
@@DonnyHooterHoot Whether he makes videos or not, he probbaly gets a lot of money in this profession anyways, the videos are just a realy nice added bonus, so might as well do them well.
You're right! I hadn't realised until you pointed it out. I have watched a good few videos recently and not once have I thought the narration was repetitive, just interesting and calming and flowing. Thank you for helping me to see....
Things only Julian fans know rule - Hot Tables, Washi kozo, Mylar film, reusing orginal stretcher and keys, cleaning face reveals, bridging never patching, spitting tacks, magical paint matching, the final varnish
I'm a simple person. I see a new video from Julian, I click and immediately "Like" it. This painting was beautiful when it came in, and gorgeous when it left. Julian, you did an amazing job.
Yep. Me too. Completely safe bet, Julian has never made a video yet that I haven’t found fascinating, educational and totally absorbing. The Like is a given.
Me too. Love Julian's vids, well made, informative interesting, yes and entertaining. Always like as soon as one pops up, whether I watch it then or later on. Wonderful work 👏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too. Every Tuesday morning here in Australia, I check if there is a new video and if there is, I click it, like it and watch the artwork come to life
my favorite thing about this channel is you saying "i dont really care, i like the way it looks, this is my studio and it's important to me". thats good vibes.
As a Swede, laying in my bed, listening to Julian’s calming voice, I thought for a second that I had a stroke when I suddenly heard Julian speaking Swedish. The shock of my life, and it made my day.
This video has it all: philosophical musings, planar distortions, impasto, shoddy lining, Julian hating on staples and being shady to framers... Brilliant start to the year 😂🔥
…and the therapist says, actually, at least here we are perfectly sure about what we are doing and it works. And if it doesn’t, we take it apart and start all over again. 😎😇
@@Bobrogers99 Yeah, he seems very good at spotting which paintings will have something different in the restoration process to keep things fresh and interesting.
I'm always impressed that Julian is able to re-explain things like the bridging technique so many times without sounding blasé or making it tedious? That's an impressive storytelling skill, & really helps make sure his content remains accessible for any new-arriving audience members.
I was taught to glue paper on the backs. Now that I only frame for myself and can't be bothered, I occasionally get a twinge of guilt. Thanks to Julian, I can tell that twinge to go take a hike. :)
Yeah, I've always found that paper layer to be such a nuisance when trying to reframe existing pieces, or reuse surplus frames from old stuff, but I'd always assumed it was done for some reason of stabilization or protection? 🤔 Really appreciate it not being so commonplace today!
Hearing Julian and Kit speaking Swedish? My native language? I didn't think that would bring me the amount of joy that it actually did! 😁 I needed that in my life ❤
Although it's not a major part of the restoration, I do find the vacuum of the painting on the Hot Table, to be oddly satisfying. Wonderful restoration! I love the way the damaged areas disappear with the retouching.
I have seen mouldy paper documents and even photo negatives, but never a painting! Thank-you for continuously finding new and interesting things to show your audience.
It's really exciting to see new tools of the trade, like the rehumidification tent here! (Even though their introduction means the piece has additional unusual problems needing resolution, alas... 🙈)
Painting repair imo is one of the few trades where you can clearly see the progress in the trade itself. Every painting that is done will be done again. And each time it will be done better. This video is a great example of this.
Your channel is one of the few where I do not tire of your explanations of what you do. For me, it is part of the pace and flow of the episode. But I am also aware that new viewers would have no idea what and why you do something unless you were to explain it. So, thank you, for re-explaining with so much patience.
I love watching this channel as an artist because we don’t often talk about the structural support and conservation of our own work. most artists who can afford it outsource this part, but I’d rather know how to do it myself well because I feel like it’s an important part of my creation process.. and I’m a bit of a control freak. I’ve picked up other tips too, like the way Julian patches holes in canvas has helped me up my collage game a lot. plus, I like the periodic reminder that there is no need to rush, good work takes time and that’s okay.
True! Because of watching these videos I switched from staples to tacks, Cleanly finish the back and edges of my pieces, make sure to put an extra thick layer of gesso on, and use good quality varnish and materials, making sure everything is archival. I was even able to patch a hole in one of my own canvasses and have it almost perfectly camouflaged. Stuff like this can extend the life of your paintings by several decades.
I love your multi-episode videos bacause there's so much detail....and a good deal of suspense! But you know, sometimes I come home at the end of a stressful day and see a video like this and I jump for joy. The therapeutic value of a Baumgartner video project unfolding from start to finish all in one bite is beyond words. Thank you once again, Julian. You made a crappy day melt away in minutes.
Love hearing the conversations with Kit. So much better. A great progression forward. So many other channels just do the same old same old for ever. This is such a good move forward.
At 15:17 you say something very similar to what I've always worked by in my life. My version used to be 'If I can't do something right, I won't do it at all', but a while ago I decided to change it. Now I say 'If I can't do something right, I'll wait until I can do it right'. That made me feel a lot better about what I could and couldn't do, instead of giving up on something entirely, I just postpone doing it until I have the confidence, knowledge, and skill to do it right.
I recently saw a quote that went something like this "think of all the talents you could have if you just allowed yourself to be a beginner" and I like that, because you can never become good at something if you don't practice
It’s always a little sad to see such a gorgeous painting in such poor condition, but seeing Julian’s work and artistry restoring these paintings gives me so much joy. I feel like art conservators are probably not known or appreciated by most people who aren’t involved in the art field. It’s so beautiful to see this incredible and vital work being done while most people probably don’t know about it or don’t appreciate it.
Jag "slösar" aldrig bort dom med att titta på mobilen, jag sparar dom tills jag har kommit hem och blivit klar med middag etc. Då sätter jag mig i soffan med en kopp te och tittar i lugn och ro på tv:n så att jag får en stor bild och kan se konsten ordentligt.
One of the things that gives me so much pleasure in these is the fact that Julian treats the language with the same respect with which he treats the paintings. So many otherwise enjoyable videos are spoilt by the narration. Thanks Julian - it's a pleasure to listen to you.
I think it looked very different after restoration; the colors were much brighter and getting rid of the ripples made it easier to feel like you're standing in the painting, looking deep into the autumn forest. Looks so much like the forest in Michigan, where I grew up.
I know opinions will vary on this, but I like these all-in-one videos. The 3-4-5 part ones are still good (the amount of work and craftsmanship is incredible!), but there’s something so satisfying about seeing the whole journey.
I don't think I've ever been more fascinated by one of Julian's restorations than I have been by this one. The mold removal and canvas repair were very satisfying to watch.
I am a retired art teacher (and art history) . I shared many of your videos with my students. Now I just watch for my own curiousity! You are so talented.
It's amazing what you can fix. I used to think that when a painting is damaged, that's it. It's a done deal but I'm always in awe of how a painting can be restored. It's really amazing!
I just want to say that I absolutely love this channel. If I can be honest, art isn't something I'm obsessed with, but ever since coming across this channel, it's really opened up my eyes and given me a new perspective. Julian, you are so well spoken, I could watch these videos for hours on end due to your professionalism and teaching. Truly a great a channel.
Hej from Sweden! Fun to see you work on a swedish painting and try to speak swedish😁. Haven't heard of the painter, so now I'll have to Google him. Great video as usual.
GROAN! My dad had an unfinished painting with a 2” tear. He used kids glitter glue to attach a 4”x 8” piece of T-shirt to the back😮😮 it’ll probably become a masterpiece and in 50 years a conservator will be swearing at his work!
Was literally just thinking, Oh, I'll have an ol' reliable Baumgartner video in the background while reading fanfic, so it'll lull me to sleep Then I see this, and thought, Ooh, forget sleep I'll still be reading fanfic though
I'm a painter and watch this channel to think about how my work will fare in the future. I mean, that's what I tell myself. But really, I watch this channel because his scrupulous attention to detail makes me feel safe in a chaotic world.
Dear Mr. Baumgartner. 👍👌👏 Simply fantastic again and as always. Extremely well done again and as always (video and work). I like your solo videos much more than having a second person on the set. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health in particular.
It's 2023 and I should have learned by now how to sniff out and quickly dodge Julian's surprise ad attack 😂 Even came with a skit with Kit. A true master 😂
I barely even realised this was a painting of a forest in the beginning because I was so distracted by the issues. What an incredible difference such small changes can make. This painting is absolutely fabulous.
Thank You Julian, Thank You Kit.... My Monday mornings revolve around your show (& coffee). What a wonderful way to start my week. I was able to see 2 of my "Waldo's" in action & I LOVE watching them work!!! Julian I could listen to you explain the exact same process over & over & NEVER loose interest. I watch you work & try to imagine your movements are my movements and yes it does register in my peanut brain and yes It does influence my positive work ethic!!!.... TM
Crazy that i was just thinking today i haven't watched anything of yours in a few weeks, so i went to watch some old videos and realized you uploaded half an hour ago, nice
What a difference! It changed from dingy dusk to warm sunrise. It was the perfect example of vanishing over grime. It makes me a bit sad that the family has probably never seen it in its proper state, for generations maybe
Hello! Just wanted to pop in and say that, in Julian's case, his quote, "Do it the right way or don't do it at all," is completely applicable and necessary. But please don't apply this to your own life at large! Always remember: sweeping your kitchen badly is much better than not doing it at all, and going on a tiny walk is better than not doing it at all. Take care of yourselves, my loves, and celebrate your little victories!
Amen to this! “Do it right or don’t do it at all” has been very bad for my perfectionism, and has kept me from trying new things (or retrying old things I failed at before). It’s important to remember that mistakes are an important part of learning-sometimes it’s good that they happen, because you are learning how to do it better (not perfectly per say, but at least better) next time!
12:15 "...much like when your genes were patched by your mother or father, they looked good until they went through the wash a couple of times" I was really confused about the metaphor when I listened to it for the first time. It took me a moment to put it right in my head.
Am I the only one who thinks that, as well as this being wonderful content, beautifully filmed and edited, a real pleasure and lesson in conservation, Julian is pretty darn handsome as well!
Julian, To me, that painting looks like it was cut down at some point. I can't think of another reason the painting would continue perfectly onto what is now the tacking edge. It is not uncommon to get paint on the edges of the canvas. But the paint on the tacking edges is not just accidental brush hits. Do you think it might have been done to replace a bad tacking edge? It might have been cut out of a frame at one point to possibly steal it, but that is most likely just my imagination running wild.
On my Christmas vacation we visited several museums. The whole time I was like:
"Hmmm yesss... see this canvas is distorted. You can see it through the raking light. Over here this painting needs cleaned and revarnished. Clearly it has browned with age."
See the effect you're having on your fans.

Yeeeey new video, thank you.
Can you believe you have almost 1.75M subscribers? Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 ... 2M is just around the corner! 💖🌞🌵😷
One of the things that gives me so much pleasure in these is the fact that Julian treats the language with the same respect with which he treats the paintings. So many otherwise enjoyable videos are spoilt by the narration. Thanks Julian - it's a pleasure to listen to you.
I love how pleasant his voice is. Pleasant tone, clear diction, articulate and well paced. Excellent.
Very nice, thank you for sharing. Charles
My favorite RUclips channel! I welcome every video!:)
I think it looked very different after restoration; the colors were much brighter and getting rid of the ripples made it easier to feel like you're standing in the painting, looking deep into the autumn forest. Looks so much like the forest in Michigan, where I grew up.
I saw a painting restoration ad recently and was appalled at what they thought was their best work. Definitely learned a lot here, thanks Julian.
So glad to have a landscape. This is probably my favorite painting you've ever worked on
I loved the foreground tree trunks, especially in the final reveal, they have a wonderful three-dimensional look to them.
I just don't get why youtube doesn't recommend your videos to me. I'm clearly subscribed and watch them start to finish... wtf youtube?
I like your style without qualifiers
I know opinions will vary on this, but I like these all-in-one videos. The 3-4-5 part ones are still good (the amount of work and craftsmanship is incredible!), but there’s something so satisfying about seeing the whole journey.
Never boring. Julian seems to give us those little one episode candies before or in between multi-episodes projects. I love that.

Gods, I needed a new video from my therapist today. Learning about art and life in one soft spoken amazingness. Thanks Julian.
I miss seeing the moment when, after the cleaning is complete, the isolation layer is applied. There is such magic when the real colors come alive!
Fantastic video.
It's amazing what you can fix. I used to think that when a painting is damaged, that's it. It's a done deal but I'm always in awe of how a painting can be restored. It's really amazing!

What a lovely painting. Glad the owner brought it to you before the issues got bad.
I barely even realised this was a painting of a forest in the beginning because I was so distracted by the issues. What an incredible difference such small changes can make. This painting is absolutely fabulous.
Your words are as poetic as the paintings you restore. Retoration is an artform, if it's done properly. It's the totality of the rhythm of your prose.
Beautiful swedish, I give y'all an A+
At 24:20 yes we saw. The sneak peak transformation was a nice touch
Thank You Julian, Thank You Kit.... My Monday mornings revolve around your show (& coffee). What a wonderful way to start my week. I was able to see 2 of my "Waldo's" in action & I LOVE watching them work!!! Julian I could listen to you explain the exact same process over & over & NEVER loose interest. I watch you work & try to imagine your movements are my movements and yes it does register in my peanut brain and yes It does influence my positive work ethic!!!.... TM
Oooooh, that was a good one, Julian. Nice work!
Crazy that i was just thinking today i haven't watched anything of yours in a few weeks, so i went to watch some old videos and realized you uploaded half an hour ago, nice
What a difference! It changed from dingy dusk to warm sunrise. It was the perfect example of vanishing over grime. It makes me a bit sad that the family has probably never seen it in its proper state, for generations maybe
This is one of me favourite pieces you’ve worked on. Incredible
Bravo from Russia! Exellent! Exclusive & Professional!!!!! Bravissimo!!!!!!!
i love kit 😍🙌
The Forest Fir the Trees. I'll be here all night
Hello! Just wanted to pop in and say that, in Julian's case, his quote, "Do it the right way or don't do it at all," is completely applicable and necessary. But please don't apply this to your own life at large! Always remember: sweeping your kitchen badly is much better than not doing it at all, and going on a tiny walk is better than not doing it at all. Take care of yourselves, my loves, and celebrate your little victories!
Amen to this! “Do it right or don’t do it at all” has been very bad for my perfectionism, and has kept me from trying new things (or retrying old things I failed at before). It’s important to remember that mistakes are an important part of learning-sometimes it’s good that they happen, because you are learning how to do it better (not perfectly per say, but at least better) next time!
not gonna lie, i dont think ive ever seen someone who is as thoughtful as you are when it comes to integrating ads into videos lol
12:15 "...much like when your genes were patched by your mother or father, they looked good until they went through the wash a couple of times"
I was really confused about the metaphor when I listened to it for the first time. It took me a moment to put it right in my head.
Jeans.
@@sodadrinker89 Yes, it became "jeans" the third time I heard it. Although the "genes" metaphor makes more sense the more I think about it...
My dad never patched my jeans...but I have his genes
@@timtaylor1365 Still looking good after a couple times through the wash, I hope.
@@renerpho yes thank you, more than a few times...but I have strong genes!
Am I the only one who thinks that, as well as this being wonderful content, beautifully filmed and edited, a real pleasure and lesson in conservation, Julian is pretty darn handsome as well!
Sweet, im swedish.
Nice !
Julian,
To me, that painting looks like it was cut down at some point. I can't think of another reason the painting would continue perfectly onto what is now the tacking edge. It is not uncommon to get paint on the edges of the canvas. But the paint on the tacking edges is not just accidental brush hits. Do you think it might have been done to replace a bad tacking edge? It might have been cut out of a frame at one point to possibly steal it, but that is most likely just my imagination running wild.
I just love this channel so much
When I first saw that painting, I thought it was a Robert Wood.
