Canvas Repair

[@jbcadegan]

I really appreciated the tip about applying the masking tape. I've watched quite a few of these videos as I need to repair a rip in one of my paintings, and you are the first I've seen to recommend that! It makes so much SENSE though.

Thanks, given me a chance for success on repairing a painting that my late grandfather made. It was passed on to me because no one else in the family wanted a damaged painting but I have hope. Fingers crossed 😊

Hmmm, unfortunately, the patch will be seen in several years. (Hope, not critical) But, to make the loss of already dry paint practically invisible you should fill the loss with a mixture of gelatin glue( about 5%) and white chalk dust (it s sort of a plaster) , let it dry, then very carefully wetted and even it off with a , say, sponge or, quercus suber? better - and then do the restoring, exactly like you did. You should remember to avoid the temptation to paint "exactly" "one -to-one", because all oils have a tendency to be just slightly darker with time. I worked as a restorer at a museum, when i was young.. (the USSR special department for restoring the museum paintings)

Gelatin Glue and chalk dust! Awesome I am going to try that. Thank you for sharing your expertise, wonderful to hear from a professional restorer. Our paintings that we repair are not priceless historical artifacts thank goodness 😅 I’m sure it must be so nerve wracking restoring an old masterpiece.
