I follow lots of conservation channels, so I don’t know why on Earth it took the algorithm so long to recommend this channel to me. I’m glad it did!

[@Figueiredoartconservation]

I am glad too, thank you and be wellcome

Wow, what a thick layer of varnish! The painting won the lottery by arriving at your conservation studio, great work :)

[@Figueiredoartconservation]

That is a good one 😀👍, but it is true, with the varnish out, we see a dramatic change

Your editing skills are phenomenal, Eduardo. This restoration was one of the first if not the first one I ever saw of yours. Thank you for reminding me of this lovely painting. I so enjoy your work.😊

Que maravilha, você usou dois tipos de solventes nesse caso? Percebi também que a tonalidade da cor da pintura é o verniz saturado podem criar a impressão que as nuvens também são verniz velho, estou errado? Parabéns pela execução final desse restauro.

Obrigado Gian pelo seu comentario, 🤗 Sim usei dois tipos de solvente, esta pintura é o exemplo de um quadro verdadeiramente escondido atras da sujidade... o primeiro solvente que apliquei, destina se a retirar o que se chama de grime(em ingles) que em portugues neste caso é sujidade formada por acumulacao de gordura, fumo de lareira, nicotina, etc. O segundo solvente é uma mistura que inclui 3 solventes destintos em proporcoes especificas mestura conseguida depois de testes na pintura. Na verdade Gian, as nuvens neste quadro estao pintadas de forma muito subtil, quase imperceptiveis. tanto o vernis como o grime estavam muito sujos, e podem criar a ilusao de optica de que fala.

What you have used to remove please let me know because I have to remove from my painting please..

[@jazzfan2700]

How many hours did this actually take? I’m curious. Well done!

[@Figueiredoartconservation]

I appreciate your curiosity and support! It took a lot of time, but I'm glad it was worth it. But in this cleaning with solvent tests for dissolving dirt, but also the varnish removal was about 3 days
