I swear even if these videos were more than an hour long, I'd still watch it
Me too!
Me three!
an hour long restoration vid would be heaven
same
Me too
Bro the studio is probably haunted by ghosts of painters just chilling like... "damn this dude a G"
Mel Gonzales I thought I was the only one thinking this 😂
Mel Gonzales lmfao Fr 😂😂😂😂
Mel Gonzales LMAO. What's a G?
Dumb comment
Honest Abe no u
I don't know when it happened...or how it happened...but this is my favorite RUclips channel. I feel like I learn something, relax and am graced with beautiful art in every video. Thank you so much for your hard work!
standing bear your comment warmed my heart. I hope you are able to get back to crafting soon!
Idem for me
I agree. I have never and will never restore a painting, but I often tinker with reviving other old and worn items, and I still feel I can gain something from watching this channel.
And if you like the ambience of Julians videos, you might like Ford Hallam too. A different kind of artist, but he does some amazing work in metalshaping and engraving, and also follows tradition.
I like to imagine there's no cameraman and he's just clumsily moving the camera around every few seconds with his dirty gloves on.
That’s just about correct.
@@BaumgartnerRestoration Hey there. Was the original gilding painted over? Thanks.
@@BaumgartnerRestoration Ha! He commented! Oh Julian, you piece of good work
Yup, thought the very same 😅
Baumgartner Restoration :o are you really filmed alone?
Whoever painted over that gold leaf also covered all of their hardwood floors with linoleum.
And removed the stained glass features and replaced them with thin window glass...
That person probably did it so people dont steal it. I am not saying it was good to do it but at that time for that person it probably was the best solution.
R/rareinsults
Rue Beingcool r/foundthemobileuser
But Linoleum is a natural product with linseed oil and would leave the timber floor beneath to "breathe". Rather the travesty committed would be to cover the floor with a wood grain patterned vinyl!
OK so this ASMR version is 21 minutes while the narrated is 6 minutes.
But now I want a 21 minute narrated version, Julian.
OMG, what the heck would I talk about for 21 minutes!
@@BaumgartnerRestoration Don't you know Bob Ross... _And now I'm lifting up the happy little canvas..._
Dear@@shoulders-of-giants
Yes, yes, yes. Bob Ross is legendary and was always smiling and in a good mood.
Best regards.
巨人の肩 This comment made my day. Love me some Bob Ross moments.
Dear Dennis Jeppesen
I thought absolutely the same immediately. But it's also very good and meditational tp have a non verbal version additionally. I want both in 21 min. length!
Best regards.
Julian knows to give the people what they want.
This is not what i want. ASMR videos are dumb
@@imapigeonyoupeasant1489 well, not everyone likes the same thing, would be weird if we did
As long as there's no whispering, I'm cool with it. These are just work sounds. If he whispered through the whole vid, I would probably have a conniption.
@@imapigeonyoupeasant1489 Then watch the narrated version. It was uploaded today too
@@brissygirl4997 yeah, but i want a 20 minutr long narration one :D
I don't know much about art, nor i have any interest in this field of work but watching you work on those pieces with such dedication simply captivates me
Same
I restore classic cars, I would do this type of work all day if given the chance
All the camera angles - this must’ve taken ages to film. Bless you, it is a beautiful video.
It takes way longer to make the actual restoration tho, from many hours to even a couple of days, depending on the job.
Lexender not to mention all the other paintings he has to take care of in between
This is like That one toy story scene where that Old Guy is Repairing woody
Every ASMR sensitive person remembers that scene cuz it hit us when we didn’t know what it was
@@a.y.8294 exactly!
Right! It needs the music in this video
You can't rush art
This is the only type of ASMR I like and it’s because of that Toy Story 2 scene.
I love how Julian did not try to make the frame too perfect, but rather left some traces of history. It was beautifully done. Thank you for this video.
I was wondering how he was going to "fix" the cracks as well. No need at all, love it
@@unafilliatedx2310 that's what proper conservators do. they never fix as they arent the original artist. theyre just there to preserve and put in a better condition the object. same with painting over missing pieces.
This was requested by the client, but indeed, wonderfully executed by Julian
I’m so glad to see that the owners changed their mind about the frame ✨
Thanks so much for doing these videos in an ASMR style. I don't want to take away from the narrated version, but I really enjoy watching these.
Who the hell looked at this frame and went: "haha lemme just paint over gold leaf lol"
I imagine that the gold leaf got damaged and they priced up a repair, it was too expensive to do or the fashion changed so out went the gold leaf and in came some paint to match the latest trend. They kind up recycled it by painting it then inadvertently gave Julian a job to do much later on in its life 😀
Veronica gold went out of fashion a few decades ago and a lot of gold frames were painted over
That was probably done so the painting won't be stolen. Some people did that during ww2 so that german soldiers won't take their paintings as they went through the towns.
Veronica has
I imagine it must have been like everyone’s obsession with chalk paint.
I’m a curator mostly of works on paper, but there are also paintings. A bunch are about to go off and be conserved. I love seeing these videos to add to my understanding of details on the paintings side. I’ve seen a lot of conservation of all kinds, but I’m still learning and always will be.
In a sea of ear licking and slime eating we find this, perhaps the last island of beauty in the asmr world.
This and goodnight moon
Sad but probably true
Check River bro when we talk about beauty.
Ah, but let me share the glad tidings... MassageASMR has returned.
Check out asmr zeitgeist
Finally asmr I find interesting and don't feel weird watching.
That's a mood
I can't stand the weird ones watching this or someone cleaning a driveway with a pressure washer, or detailing a car, or a chiropractor adjusting people those are my faves.
Luiz, exactly! Dont get me wrong I dont mind the different and weird asmr videos, but these ones that are simple and with realistic pacing are literally the best. I'm starting to really not like the videos where they sit and fiddle for minutes on one particular task like counting. Takes them 45 minutes to count to 10.
This and Bob Ross too
I hate when people are licking and smacking their lips on the mic it’s disgusting
Man, the editing of these videos is great.
yomarcelojeje it’s crazy how much work he puts into restoring art and on top of that the editing! It is indeed great
When you've watched so many of his videos you can hear his commentary in your head when he's not saying a word
I have found this video by chance, and little did I know that my perfectionism, my love for art and my ASMR addiction would be satisfied with a single video... Perfection.
this is the most heavy handed I've seen him
I know, it's strange... The frame is much more robust than the painting and can stand up to a bit more aggressive work. It needed it too!
@@BaumgartnerRestoration and lovely results in the end, as always
I actually Got the Comments section to check if It was not Just Me and found this Comment @Alexis , Great Results Yes, But I have never seen him Going Aggressive like that Before, But Again Julian with the explanation, Dude You are a God's Send, It Feels so Good to See Old Art Restored to some what their Original Visuals ...
I had the same thought! I wasn’t used to him working so rough lol
BIG facts, for a min I was like 'damn Julian'
I usually watch your videos to relax,
but the part where you put the gold sheets.… *ANXIETY INCREASES*
Yours too... I was sweating bullets!
@@BaumgartnerRestoration but when you brushed over them to create a smooth surface, that may be the most relaxed I've felt in years. Sooo satisfying. 😂😂😂
I live for this channel. The content I NEED.
I’m literally stunned by how used he is to work with this ancient stuff. I’d be like: Oh my god, will it turn into dust if I touch it?!
And the guy’s just: Yeah, whatever, let’s scrap the sh*t out of this thing.
P.S. Stunned in a good way of course, he’s super professional and I want to pay huge respect
The way they work, you can watch forever.
yall remember that scene in Toy Story 2 when he fixes up Woody? That... vibe
Ah childhood asmr
Fellen that scene mesmerizes me every time!
@@that1trashborb948 now I realise why I liked that bit so much
Yaaaaaa
Fellen I need a 4hr long woodie makeover
ASMR + expert craftsmanship = so tingly with the added bonus of being really interesting! Loved every minute! Please make more of these!
I know people before were talking about how the juxtaposition of the aged frame with the restored painting made it feel like a window into the past. But oh my god, this is beautiful. For me the gold and contrasted with the cool tones of the painting really gives it a window feeling. Like you're inside a warm, luxurious store front looking out at a cold winter's day. I think it really adds to the impact of the painting. Excellent work.
I also completely didn't realize before cleaning that the frame was supposed to be all gold. I thought it was mostly white/pale paint with gold filigree or something on the raised carvings. What causes that kind of thick and solid grime?
EDIT: I didn't realize there was a narrated version. Checking it out now, and it seems some of my questions are answered already.
1:01 gently places frame on table, camera shakes like a 6.0 earthquake just hit
Lol
This gentleman has extraordinary patience with that golden foil.
Gold leaf
@@potatofry4571 yea, but "golden foil" sounds more like something a king would say. Kinda sophisticated. 🤔🤔
Justin Time True. But still you can buy it at hobby lobby
@@potatofry4571 :/
Potato Fry not really. In one of his other videos he states that it’s real gold, and there’s no way that anybody with a little bit of common sense would sell real gold at hobby lobby.
The whole beginning I thought the gold was flaking off too. I had no idea there was another layer of schmutz on top still yet to be removed. Amazing.
Of Schmutz xD diese Aussage xD
Schmutz gibts auch im englischen😅lul
@@yifflord_uwu4824 aber man sagt ja eher dirt
when you are smart enough to be a chemist but too talented not to be an artist you are Julian Baumgartner.
In my opinion restoring art is a form of art. People like Julian preserve history.
@@senajabeen1076 and... Art.
@@senajabeen1076 he said " too talented NOT to be an artist" so he just said hes doing art? :D
@@lilienschwall preserve history and art maybe
@@luismiguelnaperial2213 oh I misunderstood what sena jabeen said 😅
At the end the frame looks like it hasn't been touched since it was matched with the painting. The hand of a true expert.
When the gold leaf was put on the pad, did anyone else blow to smooth it out? 😏
Another wonderful video, thank you.
Love your profile pic
😉Yup!
I absolutely love this and I have no idea why but when he blew on the gold leaf and it went flat it just took my breath away
Imagine cleaning the whole frame with Q tips
when you get paid thousands to do this work, its only a days worth of labor
Would be satisfying
If you check out other videos on his channel that's exactly what he does, but on entire paintings. He's even done streamings of it.
the Q is for Quality
@Nicolasa Ohhhhh, that sounds like a good idea! Thank you!
Man, this channel is pure gold
Just like the frame! XD
I honestly couldn't care less about ASMR but a full 21 minutes of getting to see even more of the process? Yes please!
I always thought that I didn't enjoyed the ASMR thing. Turns out I just don't like people whispering in my ear. I live for your videos
Same I can't handle the whispering and all the other weird stuff. But this. This is great.
I love how precise he is on the art/frame, even all those camera angles. Thank you for this quality content
I sit and watch your work while I knit. So soothing and quiet. Thank you for teaching us to appreciate the restoration process. I'm 74 and try to learn something everyday!!!
Did the owner love the painting restoration so much that he requested the frame to be restored after?
Because it remember you telling us that the owner wanted the frame to be left unchanged
Yeah, after seeing the painting conserved they decided to go ahead with the frame. It's explained in the narrated video.
@@BaumgartnerRestoration Yep I watched the narrated version after watching this and posting this comment. Thanks for clearing that up!
See, this is great. I can listen to asmr and if someone walks in, I'll just say I'm watching someone fix a frame
Dont be embarrassed if its something quite as.. not normal looking haha
SAME LOL
This is what happens when an artists preserves art! Absolutely stunning!
You have probably been told a million times-'beautiful work!'. Thank you for sharing this. You're work is a treasure.
Oh my gosh, I'm so glad the clients decided to do the Frame. I couldn't believe that they didn't want it done in the first place. Incredible how well you matched that frame. You do such great work.

And that’s why I have trust issues
Does look remarkably like an H6/7 scaler instrument 😁
That was fascinating to watch and nice job on the ASMR aspect. Julian must have the patience of a saint. That is painstaking work.
Absolutely amazing to watch. And the restoration was a perfect choice to make. The painting visually pops even more now.
This guy really knows his audience. This was bliss.
So so happy the client decided to restore the frame as well, it looks gorgeous, fantastic job, Julian!
Who the fu is Guy Wiggin???! I wanna beat the shit outta him! And maybe you too!!!
@@RequiemDream I suppose he's the maker of the frame.
@@djoverkin
Oh okay thank you
It soothes my soul, in this throw-away age, to see this meticulous artisanship in retaining and maintaining what is beautiful from our past, and the sensitive respect in matching restorations to the original. Thankyou for sharing your committment and patience.
I don't mind saying this... but I am addicted to this channel and the great artist that he is. WOW... and Great Artists bringing Great Art back to life. I can't get enough of this channel. Thank you so much for this.
I'm trying to imagine the conversation..."yeah, we'll just coat it with gesso, and slop some white and brownish paint all over it. Don't you worry, we'll cover ALL that ugly gold."
Thats what i THOUGHT LIKE WHY WOULD U COVER THAT UP?¿?
*spends hours painstakingly placing one gold leaf at a time onto the frame*
*immediately rips it all off right after*
the things we do for art...
Time stamp?
@@moodsmoody4936 14:00
It ain’t cheap either lol
It's called aging the gilt or something, my mother did gold leaf and gilt work for Collins (dictionaries, encyclopedias etc) and it's weirdly quite destructive work, however the strength of gold leaf once applied is phenomenal, you can see he used different tapes to give different aged effects etc.
My mum told me once that after every shift they were searched because pure 18/24ct gold leaf back in the day was expensive so not a crumb was wasted. They spent at least half an hour scouring the tables with a brush to gather up even gold leaf dust.
I love ASMR and art restoration videos~ perfect combo! I love the fact that the sleeve folding was included haha
I'm watching this video for the second time and I know already there will be many reruns for me. Still can't figure out what I enjoy more, the technical aspect, craftsmanship or the ASMR side of it. Both are excellent.
10:07 felt like a How to Basic video xD
I'm not really into asmr videos, but THIS I could watch all day. There's something truly fascinating about watching your videos.
There are many ASMR type videos that I cannot stand and I must say, yours absolutely fascinate me. I love watching your process and learning.
Just what I need. A restoration asmr video. A great combination.
Yall know the mystery liquid in a glass jar they use in the beginning of the video to get the paper and stuff off the back of the frame? I'm calling that shit liquid erosion and no one can stop me
Small Might absolutely valid
Well you’re not wrong you’re just not right either
Lol
@@Ace_of_hearts_. " *well yes, but actually no* "
@Justin Time I almost put that lol actually what that even from? I’ve just seen it on comments and stuff😂
@@Ace_of_hearts_. its from a movie i think?? You know the movie thats clay-mation style-ish about the chickens? Or uh... Wallace and Grommet?? I think? Its a movie made by the same people im pretty sure, about pirates or some shit. Someone took a scene from the movie where a character says that and makes it into a meme. Which i could tell you more but its almost midnight and i cant afford to use my brain I might sprain it. :/
I’ve watched/listened to this same video like 5 times in the past two weeks. Out of all the ASMR videos I’ve watched this is by far the best. Kudos to you and pleaseeeee make more ASMR. Yours are the BEST!
Glad they changed their minds about the frame, nicely done!
So tedious but you do fantastic work!! I know it must be a struggle making the videos along with performing your job but keep them coming, we love them!
you're spoiling us by this point
two of the most calming things, watching something creative/ being fixed, and asmr
Best ASMR around. Just real sounds and not looking like a fool.

It'll all just be us rewatching it.
Every night.
i got too intrigued by this and forgot to fall asleep... now i need to watch the narrated version to find out wtf is going on
Ikr?
I have asthma and in the part where he dusts off the frame I could feel myself suffocating already 😂
mood
LOL SAME
When the restored painting and restored frame are put together it's almost like traveling back in time ♥️♥️
Now this is the content I come on RUclips for
Amazing craftsmanship. You sir, are an exquisite artist. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
The high tech tools always sound the best. The sandpaper's my favourite. 💛
Probably the most well-dressed man who works with paints. 😌
*Bob ross has left the chat*
*Bob Ross has rolled over in his grave*
Right?!!! I think he's so handsome
The attention to detail is just astounding.
My fav thing to watch ever....... he has the most beautiful hands I've ever seen....... we need more if this thanks lol..... love from Scotland xxx
What a great surprise and what a difference this work makes to that piece. Just beautiful in the newly restored frame. Good call by the owner and Julian. Can't wait for the next adventure....yo! Someone take him a painting to work on!!! :)))
scraping that frame
sounds so good
looks good ....
amazing work ! 👍🙌🏼
I watch this channel for the long restoration videos, the narrated ones, and now for the asmr as well
I love this so much
THANK YOU !!!!!! So much for these ASMR videos. U don’t understand how much u help me deal with anxiety and insomnia. Grateful 🙏🙏
What a way to start my morning! The work is amazing...as always 😍
Aw dang if I started the morning with this video I would fall back asleep 😅
So glad I discovered this channel. By far one of my favorites. While sharing your RUclips channel with friends I pointed out that it appears you really have to be a bit of a Renaissance man in order to be a competent restorer. At the very least you have to be a carpenter, a chemist, a historian and a fine artist. The work is phenomenal, and watching the process is a lot of fun. Also, what a great way to get people into art history. Do you find time to paint and exhibit your own work, or does this take the majority of your time? Thanks for sharing! Can't wait for the next video.
Awesome craftsmanship and artistry. I love watching you work.
1. This was somehow so much more relaxing than normal ASMR
2. The patience he must have
Framing is a craft. I ran an Aaron Brothers for 3 years. Such a soothing experience to design and be around art like that daily.
"That's great, Julian, but the Wiggins was over there."
"Oh for fu-..."
i’m not a big fan of asmr, but your asmr videos help me to cope with my anxiety and sleep better!! i love restoration and just seeing you work makes me chill. thank you
Who would believed that restoring an old frame would be an ASMR masterpiece
In my entire 20 years of life this has got to be the most satisfying video I have ever watched.
Thanks for making this video, it brought me back to my father's shop when I was a kid. He often despaired when a client wanted to take put a "pickled" finish on a well made piece of furniture but that was the style. You did an excellent job matching the liner to the frame, matching gold to gold can be nerve racking.
Please make more of these if you Can! They are so interesting to watch and they help me sleep (after I watched them a couple times through!)
I want to get a price on how much to restore my whole life with this amount of care and dedication. Am willing to pay anything
I could watch hours of just this. It's great!
this is the first video i watched and now i'm addicted to his channel/works. very passionate and talented man.
I love all your Videos especially the Narrated/ASMRish ones. It just relaxes me so much. When I watch something narrated, it's like always the same steps and that's just so calming somehow.
