THE PROCESS


Assessing the Damage

   All kinds of things happen to paintings, water damage, smoke damage, perforations, scuffs, scratches, rips, just like any physical object. Fortunately most damage can be repaired. I have a good collection of artist quality oil, and acrylic paints and all the most modern ingredients and materials to make the damage to your painting disappear. There are some guidelines here (established by the trade) based on criteria such as historical, or monetary value, that should be considered and effect the plan of repair.

Preliminary Testing

  Once the plan is established, testing begins. Usually, the edges of paintings offer the best test sites, there are many unknowns to test against the educated guess.
