What is magic and how do we wrap our heads around the disconnect between our logical and rational selves and that within us that gives us chills and makes our knees weak. How can the transformation of simple materials affect us in a way that defies the clear boundaries of what we have come to understand in our daily lives?

Normal paintings: There's dirt over the canvas
This painting: There's a canvas under the dirt
Underrated comment of the day
bellísima
Where was it kept, in a pool-hall since 1952? Possibly the dirtiest one I've seen him work on.
@@argusfleibeit1165 probably a fire... I mean, I d'ont see how a painting could be so significantly dirtied over the span of however long it's existed for. Usually, when paintings are this obscured its because of a very old oxydised varnish, here it's clearly only surface grime. Ergo, it really looks like it's been in a house where there was a fire, and what's so thick on the surface of the painting is soot.
Yess
wow, this was dirty
Yes the old consevators used a style of biodegradable lacquer called "chocolate".
@@paint4pain I thought they just put it in a room where people smoke cigarettes 24/7
It looks like it was used to line a fireplace chimney, FFS.
My first thought was it must've been hanging in a diesel repair shop.
When you mix up your varnish and stain jars lol
*Julien, quietly chuckling to himself as he clicks on another font *
😂😂😂
Don't forget the changes in italic, boldness and size of the font and how he repeated 42, making the count from there 1 number less. This is one of the purest arts of chaos if you ask me.
@@dailinelily omg I didn’t even notice 😂
I wonder what he was thinking. 'Aw, the kids'll love this'? 😂
As a graphic designer, this was driving me absolutely NUTS. I had to window my browser and move the counter off-screen so I would stop seeing it.
he uses his fonts like how middle schoolers use slide transitions
or how 43 year olds use slide transitions
I've never had my middle school experience described like this before, but I'm all for it.
The chaos burns within him; fueled by the burning souls of so called conservators of yesteryear and fanned to flame by the comment section.
@@ADKEMT this is so good it deserves repetition - I would most respectfully suggest - since it’s obvious you are a zen Master - his next video?
@Scarlet Pimpernel I’m glad you enjoyed it. However, much like Julian’s Chaos and a local coal mine I’ll choose to be a long slow burn just below the surface.
why do i feel like julian carefully unwraps hershey’s kisses so the wrappers aren’t torn and then flattens them into perfect lil aluminum squares
I.. I do that...
Doesn't everyone?
Abbey Kowalsko you know damn well he does that 😂
That was dirty, but even after it was cleaned I thought the nose was still dirty.
He probably eats real chocolate lol
"I'm not a magician or an alchemist", says the man who, with a little brown bottle of clear liquid and some fancy cotton swabs, rolls back time itself and unveils color and beauty where there had only been the memory of them before.
With all due respect and appreciation; Bullshit, good sir.
Especially since alchemists were basically chemists! And those are chemicals in that bottle. That he mixed himself. So he is an alchemist. Yup.
That is waht is all over the painting!!! It makes sense now!!
Pro Tip: That clear liquid could be something that you already have in your house ...
@Mark Nehring magicians don't reveal their tricks 😉
@@marioula05 don’t try cleaning a painting by yourself at home with household objects! They’re professionals for a reason. I bet it’s a little bit more complex than simple household items.
the lenghts he goes to introduce skillshare are getting out of hand
He's getting pretty good at it lmfa
I laughed out loud, i didn't expect skilkshare at all x))
It's almost at InternetHistorian level
It caught me so off guard lmao
I bet he used skill share to learn how to insert his sponsors! (insert sponsorship section)
literally no one:
the numbers on the left upper corner: ⓸ ⁵ ⑥ ₇ ❽ ⑼
IT TOOK ME 52 CHANGES TO NOTICE AND I ONLY NOTICED FROM THE COMMENTS
And he skipped number 43, so the count's one less than it should be.
@@dailinelily no he didn't. Look again.
Nope 53 is there. I was watching and thought I had missed it. 😘
Imma need Julian and his cotton swabs to clean my life up
My thoughts exactly 😅😂
Yep though might take more than 2 hrs and i'd need a yard brush not a cotton swab!
That'll be a lot of cotton balls
i want to schedule my session after this person
You shall have it
The coal mine will be happy to get their painting back.
Thanks for that comment. Made me laugh out loud.
Lol
Lmfao 🤣
It really looks like it was dug out of mud.
Needed that laugh.
I firmly believe the meme-pit that is Julian's fanbase are the reason he did the font thing with the numbers.
He just woke up one day and decided to cause more chaos than usually in the comments section just for fun
I bet he sat there reading through the comments laughing his ass off
As someone who has been watching him for almost 2 years I can confirm that this man is an entity of carefully concealed chaos hidden behind calming music and calming vocals
LMAO no doubt
@@abacustomss yea for his is the anti Zen - master!
@@abacustomss With how he gracefully insults past conservators (which remind you, may be already dead) and is indirectly criticising everyone (whether they care or not) by reasoning his own actions, I agree with this.
I'd be even more interested in seeing if he'll be making a "non-relaxing zen" video for the sake of it. Imagine expecting a man with a soothing voice, doing a nice relaxing video but instead you see him screaming and being as energetic as a 4-year old on 100 energy drinks. It would be hilarious and I'd be entertained for the rest of the weekend.
Julian: What I do is not magic. *does freaking art necromancy on camera*
Art necromancy is my new favourite description!
Cant help myself. should that not be necromartcy?
"which font would you like for the swab counter"
julian: ALL OF THEM
I noticed that too
More like:
"Which font would you like for the swab counter?"
"YES"
It was already in the 60s before I noticed.
63 and 76 tho
I guess he learnt that from Skillshare
"But that doesn't mean that magic is out of reach."
me: aww
"For you can head over to Skillshare-"
me: god dAmn iT jUliAN-
smoother than melted Jif Creamy...
He got me good this time.
I'm convinced he plans the entire video around that transition. 😂
I started laughing out loud when he went in with the skillshare, and I’m in the middle of a library 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is no one gonna talk about he basically wrote a short novel about his love of this painting and his job? Like I didn't even realize it was a cleaning video until I looked. Get this man reading audio books!
All of it just to introduce skill share lmao
I know, right? I felt embarrassed with my English all of a sudden. I am going to watch this again and again. Thank you, Julian and Skillshare!
That's why I was so annoyed at the commercial in the middle. I was so engrossed in the story.
He should do sleep stories, his voice is soothing and relaxing.
TOTALLY AGREE. What a wonderful voice - so clear - so neutral in accent.
I feel like Julian just got a new font pack and he wants to test them all

Legend
Thank you. Yes, really.
What a legend! Btw, berapa lama nulis begituan bro?
The amount of time it took you to do this must have been as long as his intro into Skillshare, well done
Oh you just wait conspiracy theorists get to that number 42 😏
... 😳
or worse - nerds
😁😉😄
I’m just giggling imagining Julian editing this video: writing that eloquent speech, choosing the elegant music, AND THEN JUST GOING CRAZY WITH THE FONTS
Comic? Filled with Staples? Embedded in Polyurethan !
I KNOWWW THE TIME THAT MUST HAVE TAKEN
elegant music? this is hold music to hang up on
If I didn't know better I'd almost think he was high during this one. 🤪
I'm glad it wasn't just me that noticed
everyone: Julian why did you use every single font in word?
Julian: I didn't want any of them to feel left out :(
I’m in literal tears. This man works so hard from setting up the cameras, the actual restoration, editing the videos, even inserting funky fonts for the fanbase to go crazy. Sir i love the amount of love and hardwork you put in everything and i greatly appreciate it. Thank you (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
How many fonts for the numbers should I use?
Julian: YES
Oh my gosh thank you I scrolled to see if anyone else got as much of a kick out of that as I did
I particularly liked 45
63 hit different

Julian, here's a serious question for you: When cleaning a painting like this, have you ever removed the varnish in a pattern that leaves a pair of cool sunglasses or a mustache on the character?
I know I would have, and I'm in my thirties.
"That would be... inappropriate."
@@OfficialSparklyPig Only if it's not cleaned off later😝
He should've left a "mask" over the mouth and nose, to be cleaned off once the pandemic is over.
Haha that's actually a really good question! I'm sure he might have done that behind closed doors ;)
Well he said he removes in irregular shapes dictated by the painting soooo yeah, I'm pretty sure sunglasses were and are still being carved out of old varnish xD
He says “without romance” like he’s not literally reciting original prose and probably gonna play Bach later. 🙄
I remembered him saying: sometimes paintings get dirty because they are exposed above a fireplace
Well, this one was INSIDE the fireplace, I bet
I wonder if a conservator would cover a painting with chocolate for his youtube channel?? Lol.
Yeah and somehow the soot left brush strokes.
@@jackfntwist and here I thought it was tempra paint but chocolate makes more sense less chance of staining the painting.
The beautiful printing being restored right in front of my eyes:
Me looking to the numbers to see what font is he gonna use next: 👁👄👁
Underrated comment lol
Fr why did he change the font every time haha
I like the one he used for 50 the best
I was halfway through the vid when I realized the font was changing. 63 was my fav
Ikr. I had to keep moving my eyes back and forth.
Me: having a deep reflection about my professional choices and perspectives as a writer
Julian: so anyway skillshare
The reveal of the lips literally took my breath away....so beautiful
Julian: very serious monologue, very proper
Also Julian: puts a different font on each number
I hadn’t even noticed until it as in the 20s
Still better than me. I didn't notice till that fat 63 caught my eye.
You probably don't know this but... He is a being of chaos.
This painting reminds me of the time I moved into a house and washed the little peach coloured curtains, only to find that they were little WHITE curtains.
My friends mom is looking to buy a new house, and the one she has been interested in since she literally moved to the neighborhood came up for sale... she went to look... and the people living there had been smokers. The entire place REEKED, the walls were dirty, they had those popcorn ceilings that are IMPOSSIBLE to clean...
She waited, as the realtors said the homeowner's daughter (Homeowner passed away, I think) was arranging for the place to be professionally cleaned/desmoked, and then went back to check again... all they did was paint over it! You could still smell it through the whole house.
Also the kitchen was some completely insane red color scheme that just made you go a bit crosseyed looking at it.
They were also asking like 200k higher than any other house in the neighborhood.
Needless to say, she didn't purchase it.
We where cleaning our apartment when we first move in. We were washing the concrete floor in the laundry room... only to find out it was beautifully tiled just packed in dirt and grime
@@Palitato that’s a really sad story of hope, longing and shattered dreams. Tennessee Williams territory surely?
Oh, the horror
Holy crap... Did someone just straight up slap mud onto this or was it hanging in a chain smokers convention?
Edit: bruuuuuuuuh I didn't even notice she had hair accessories until you cleaned that area.
Edit edit: BRUUUUH THOSE BLUE eyes tho!!!
looks suspiciously dirty with suspiciously easy to remove whatever.... I've seen a lot of dirty old paintings. Never like this.
The only kinda edited comments I like
I bet it's nicotine.
@@jackfntwist bruh what
@@cowboymice Just my paranoid rant.
I like how she looks unhappy when it's dirty, but then she's looks happy when it's clean.
julian’s speech and the music: *pure elegance*
the numbers in the Swab Bowl: parkour lol
HARDCORE PARKOUR
I think it's fascinating how the grime wasn't just covering up the colours, but the _character_ of the painting. At first it looks almost photographic, but in reality it's very expressive, even impressionistic.
Exactly, the dirty painting made the woman look sad. The cleaned up painting reveals more of her reminiscing about something
Julian, the man who even RUclips's auto-generated Closed Captions bow down to.
My, my Sir! Your diction is simply spectacular.
Yours faithfully,
Lady Cotton Swab.
He’s one of the only youtubers who I can turn CC off for 😅
With how lovingly and tenderly he addresses and restores each painting, can you imagine how life-altering it must feel to receive one of his hugs?
When those cherry red lips came to the surface, that was definitely a "wow" moment.
For sure! My mouth was wide open....totally in awe
for me it was the eyes, such a more vivid blue than I imagined would be there
Come on! What a spoiler!!
@@adamnerden then don‘t go in the comments before you watch a video...what else are we suppose to discuss down here?
@@maileenweidner430 It was just under the vid, RUclips moved the comment section to the top on mobile so I accetendely read it.
The varnish must have been a very unique mixture of nicotine and dirt.
Looks almost like somebody overpainted it evenly with brown acrylic
And strained that dirt and nicotine through a coffee filter 😝
Oh, Julian found my old reusable coffee filter. I kinda forgot that I made it out of a painting.
The only varnish in stock was Dark Walnut.
I think they swapped the spray adhesive with the varnish,
then left it in the garage, during a dust storm.....
I was almost waiting for him to say, “Welcome to Nightvale.”
Honestly, given how dirty that painting was, I'm surprised it *only* took a double-digits number of cotton swabs.
I can't imagine how many it would take for a big painting. Or how long it would take
Oi spoiler alert mate 😡😤
😁😆
julian out here speaking a whole other level of english- sir it’s 1am besmirch the staples and go lol
it's great to have an Art and English course at once =) you can also add Philosophy =)
That is a wonderful touch! As a graphic designer I really appreciate it!
"besmirch the staples and go" had me cackling
@@DarcyBearden That really needs to be a merch option, lol
@@Mad9977 to me it just felt like a really drawn out and verbose segue to his sponsorship. Personally I prefer the monologue to be about the painting, what he is doing, the history of the piece etc. Not a five minute set up for an ad.
I would like to clarify that having a sponsored ad is not an issue to me. The time he spends on these videos have to be worth this time not spent on other work.
The owner of that painting is going to cry like a baby.
I kept wondering if the owner was watching/will watch the video. The transformation is wonderful to watch, but if you have an emotional attachment to the painting? Wow.
@@auntielaura5 Imagine if the owner is also the subject...
Hell i feel like crying and it isnt even mine!
what if the owner if the painting was, in fact, a baby, and that's how it got so dirty...
The subject looks such a lot like my grandmother I kept imagining that I'd discovered this painting in storage, not knowing it ever existed, and sending it to him for cleaning.
*Julian leaving the eyes for the very end* : “....... like as a reward”
I wonder if the artist themselves would have recognized the painting when it came in. It's a wonderful to see those bright blue eyes restored.
Would be so cool to see the reaction of the original artist or even the person in the painting. But unfortunately Augustus Dunbier is dead😕 and most likely the model as well😕
I gasped out loud when he cleaned the lips. And then the eye. The vibrancy of that painting was lost and now is restored. I can’t imagine how a painting could get so filthy.
same here.
I think it was a varnish removal not a cleaning as it appears to be a jar of some sort of solvent as 17:12 is significantly duller than 17:36
yup that was the magical moment he spoke about for me as well
Tobacco? It also looks like a postwar piece and they are often overlooked as are artist who don’t attend the ‘right’ schools or come from the ‘right’ place - a terrible waste when you see lovely, evocative work like this.
@@Whisper555 i would say it's a combination cleaning/varnish removal as the varnish layer discolours and also traps grime.
the sheer audacity of this man, claiming hes not a wizard.
IKR
THE AUDACITY. THE GALL. THE GUMPTION OF HIS LITTLE SWAB ALL OVER THAT CANVAS
Sorry i ruined the 666
"I was the paradigm of post-modernity: skeptical, guarded, and all-together unimpressed"
Julian describing many of us.
The reveal of blue eyes underneath the dirt really got me. True magic indeed!
To me, it almost looks like she get's happier the more he cleans her painting.
One of the best comments of all. I feel the same when I see how she is relieved from the dust and dirt of the decades. Its a magic amazing Moment.
She looks like she had a bag on her head when that was all that was left
It's the opposite for me
I agree, to me it’s almost like when I was 8 or 9 years old and to me it seemed like whenever I bought I doll from a store the smile painted on was bigger the more I held it and if I decided not to get it the smile almost melted away even if it hadn’t actually changed at all.
@@alberteisenmann1023 just imagine how amazing it would be to be seeing it in person and not on a video.
Julien: Monologues for 8 minutes
Me: hehe cotton swab go brrrrr
Chris Hahn bruh u go me giggling and snorting over the peaceful music 🤣🤣🤣
Legend
Laughing and snorting despite having a bad day - yours was the perfect comment :D
brrr😂
hahahahaha xD
The painting changed from monotonous representation of despair and dread to the happiness and joy brought by hope of a better future... This indeed was magical.
The beginning when the green appeared my only thought was "woah"
In the background when the light blue appeared i thought "woah"
Again when the red lips when the red of the lips was shown the thought of "woah" filled my mind, wait let me remind and see that again kind of "woah" because I thought that was as good as it gets then the eye was revealed and it was beyond "woah" i was in awe was the concept of her eyes being blue even a thought until a moment ago? If there was magic in this craft then that was a prime example of such.
The painting: *dramatic eye cleaning*. The cotton ball counter: ✨🤠77🤠✨
Julian really said "The thesaurus needs a workout today"
We get it, you restore fine art for a living - you don't need to write a speech solely out of the thesaurus to think you're better than us.
@@tducs my dude I was not calling him out. I was making a joke. If you wanna call him out, make your own comment lmao

“It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works.”
― Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men
I was just thinking about this quote! You put a smile on my face fellow Discworld reader :)
Wise man, Sir Terry. I should start reading his work. Just wish I knew where to start. 😅
GNU
Welcome to « Fun with Fonts with Julian » * jingle *
Julian should be an audio book reader or something. His voice is just so satisfying to listen to.
I laughed out loud at the transition to the Skillshare spot and then again at the font for the number 69. Kudos, as always. Well done on all accounts.
What is it about the 69 font?
The whole video long I couldn't hold the feeling like I've seen the woman in this painting before. When he was about to reveal the face from all of the grime it finally hit me. This woman looks like Romy Schneider, the lead actress of the 1955 movie trilogy Sissi. These movies are very well known in Germany and Austria. A quick Google search of the painter revealed that he did actually live in Germany for a while after these movies came out. So it possible that the woman in the painting is said actress. Not stating this as a fact, I was just curious.
Thanks for coming to my TED-Talk and greetings from Germany.
Wow!
Who else went to Google this actresses after reading the comment. PS: after looking at her photos I do too feel that it's her. Thanks for sharing this mate👍
Interesting! There is a resemblance. But the woman also looks very much like "the girl in a blue dress" and the woman in the "Study of a young woman" he painted.
These movies are well known in France as well 😁
Omg yoU'RE RIGHT, THAT IS ROMY
To quote Terry Pratchett, "It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works."
OMG! I gasped when I saw the real color of her lips and eyes. The transformation of this painting was incredible! 😍
julian: soothing voice, knowledgeable, telling us an amazing stories and step by steps of what he's doing
us: here's a list of timestamps for every time he changed the number font!
When you forgot you downloaded a hellton of fonts years ago and are too soft-hearted to delete them
When those blue eyes appeared i almost teard up. How does such a bueatiful thing get so obscured.
Same!
Am i the only one that would gladly watch every second of him real-time conservating any painting????
The cleaning of her shirt alone almost brought me to tears. It’s breathtaking to see the original work underneath.
I've definitely been that kid that blows through an entire wing of paintings in a museum in like 20 minutes, because, well, they're just paintings of people and they don't even look that special. Especially with certain styles of art that are less realistic. I probably would have walked past this painting without much of a second thought.
The revealing of this painting that had been obscured for who-knows-how-long makes it more poignant for me. It's more obvious how brilliant and vibrant the colors are, and it's more salient how deliberate each brushstroke is and how they make look mismatched and haphazard, but come together to make this beautiful portrait.
tldr; I think museums should start printing high-resolution photographs of damaged or discolored paintings before restoration and hang them alongside the newly restored original. Its an important part of the painting's history, and provides some helpful background and context for people like me who sometimes struggle to "get" art.

I LOVED the music! Any chance you could share the musician or name of the music so I can find them? :)
that bucket on the left looks like someone has some hella black lungs
that was the longest, most captivating ad ever.
three things:
1) absolutely enthralled by the changing fonts on the swab counter
2) when he finally uncovered her eyes and you could see how *blue* they were, I gasped
3) dying to know what the music he used was!
i thought i was alone. the piece is lovely
I was looking through the comments to see if anyone knew!
Google on my phone says one of the possibilities is Haydn: The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross. I'm not convinced but it's a nice piece anyway. I'll keep looking.
@@-Slinger- with those wide open chords and dissonances? I think someone much newer and either modern or postmodern. And likely American.

Excellent work. Thank you for sharing this with us.
these are THE MOST relaxing videos ever. 3 minutes in and i’m asleep
I don’t think I’ve ever cried seeing what was beneath the dirt and varnish before. This is one of the most beautiful paintings I’ve ever seen. I’d give anything for a print of it. The way he captured her eyes is truly magical. Thank you.
Julian probably won't see this but on the off chance that he does, I just wanted to say thank you.
I've got this weird thing where I can't fall asleep unless I listen to Would I Lie To You, a British panel show. I watched it so often that I can and often do, quote it in everyday life. I think it's because I have a bit of anxiety and the familiarity helps me relax.
But I stumbled across this channel, and as someone who makes art, I think it's fascinating. At the same time, it is extremely peaceful and calming and helps me get to sleep.
Also, I love the comment section, you guys are hilarious.
So thank you
Glad I can help
you might check out audio books. I have the same thing, its really hard to get to sleep unless I'm listening to something. So for awhile now, i put on an audio book I've listened to prior, and I'm out in 15 minutes. I can totally relate to needed the familiarity.
The audio book definitely depends on the narrator. But ive been enjoying RC Brays narrations and then Becky chambers "Wayfarers series"
@@MyFoot I'll try checking them out, thank you
Same. When i cant fall aslerp i just play julian video it help me soooo many times!
@@BaumgartnerRestoration Inquiring minds want to know? What did you clean off that painting? Varnish? Nicotine and tar? Do I need to go to Patreon to satisfy my desire?
The ever changing choice of font and the 9 minute long ad read are what makes this video cursed
I think you mean blessed
Did anyone else kinda hope for a batman style face mask to be made towards the end when it was just the eyes and nose left to clean? Or was it just me
man his sponsors aren't paying him enough. This was the best ad transition yet.
8 minute lead in to the ad!!! Gotta love Julian!!
Can we just admire the self-restraint it took to save the eyes for the very very last thing?! GAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
He often does this. I would have been disappointed had he not.
I kept looking forward to it. And at the very end I thought : "alright let's remove this mask now". So loving. So deliberate.
Such an eloquent monologue, such a masterful restoration and that Skillshare segue was,dare I say it? Magical.👏🏾
How convenient that this is his line of work AND has a wonderful soothing voice. 👀
My idiot brain, when he gets to the hair:
"Oh wow that spot is so dirty, he's not even making a dent in it. Oh wait, that's just the colour of the hair"
Same lmao!
Did they spread nutella on this?
Also my designer brain had a fricking stroke when seeing all those fonts. xD
Maybe Nutella - AFTER having been eaten.
it was likely a copious amount of tobacco smoke and other varieties of grime
@@elizabethbejin1573 no im pretty sure it was nutella. the secret formula that makes it a little see through though!
Ahh same here! I kept thinking about how he edited in each font and felt physical pain imagining doing it one by one 😂
My guess was coffee grounds, but Nutella is good as well!
The piano music is so lovely. I must know the name!
It's probably Julian 🥰🎈
I need it toooo
Me toooo
What’s magical is the smooth transition from regular content, to ad content, and back again. Never gets old, tbh

When you revealed her eyes at last, I was moved to tears. I could not help thinking of how many years she had suffered that awful grime, and how the world had seen her. At last her true beauty was revealed, her eyes of blue looking out upon the world as they once did, and I was overcome. This was no magic trick my friend, just the steady hand of a creative master, willing to show us the beauty that lies beneath those years of awful grime. Thank you so much Julian, you are a true messenger of joy.
omg(osh)
Damn I cried at your comment
exactly
One of my favorite reveals.. It's like he brought her back.. I can't help but think that this was a real person.. that at one point in time it was someone's wife.. mother.. I almost have that fleeting desire to know more about her.. who she was and how she spent her years living..
The narration on this video, specifically the first 5 minutes or so, reminded me of a poem by Mary Oliver called the Ponds. It’s a longer one, so I won’t put all of it here, but I do want to share my favorite stanza,
“Still what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled -
to cast aside the weight of facts
and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world”
You‘re a painter, a carpenter, a historian, a chemist, a speaker, a youtuber, and your level of skill and patience is crazy. Man, you‘re my hero.
You forgot poet. That man knows his way around words😏
There’s literally nothing this man cannot do
You forgot magician
Just marry the man..
