Video

Very detailed and thorough. Appreciated the step by step and specific products used and techniques.

I have watched your video various times. I tried to clean a painting using your method and when I started cleaning witj the Kotton Klenser it looked like it was actually removing the paint itself so I just stoppped. Any advice?

1930's isn't Victorian, its the Depression era or between wars.

Love this! My question. I have a 1903 painting. How can I clean and try to preserve the back of the oil painting canvas. I found a moth under the frame nesting on the back of the canvas. Please help, I love this painting❤️

IN MY TRY WOULD have being enough with long light, back and forth motions with a clean rug.😊

great info. do you have one on restoring watercolours

Shave the head man it's 2024

Love your tutorial I’m a novice art collector mostly still life and florals impressionist oil paintings and expressionist acrylic pours. Would love to see more

Prynhawn da (Good Afternoon) I have been bequeathed a very large oil painting by a well known Filipino Artist. I have seen a similar, by same artist, that sold in auction for $22,000. I know that it was painted in the mid 50’s and is filthy; mostly nicotine staining. Thank you very much for this enlightening video. When I have a few months or so spare, I shall give it a bash. Is it absolutely necessary to varnish the painting? I don’t recall it ever being varnished. Diolch yn fawr (thank you very much).

Thanks for the demonstration. You should consider adding affiliate links for the materials to the video description.

Dude. One cup of water, add one teaspoon of household ammonia - (adjust the strength as needed - TEST a corner first, and be careful of the browns and greens - they seem the most fragile pigments…) Soft bristle small paintbrush - and good quality paper towels to wipe up with. Small areas - light agitation with the brush… Cleans nicotine, removes yellowed varnish - and you will never go back to fiddling around with swabs and ready-made products. Varnish carefully when completely cleaned.

Loveed this video. I looked for this subject on yt and you were the most down to eart/ straight forward great info out of all of them. Thank you! I know this will come in handy. I have learned several things that i believe will help on my garage sale finds that i love so much.

You guys keep away from my paintings.

Thank you for the demonstration and helpful product information. I just have to comment on your closing remark that "love is love." That is just not true. There are different types of love: friendship, eros, affection and charity. Friendship is different from the love expressed in a romance which is different from the love we may have for our pets (affection) or relatives which is different from the charitable love we express toward the less fortunate. As all human beings are created in the image of God and God revealed Himself in Christ as the God-Man, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit in a male trinity. There cannot be any impurity or erotic love between them. Therefore, an erotic expression of love between same sex individuals distorts the Image of the Trinity because God is holy and pure. Only in Christ does a man find his true self fulfilled and needs met. So much to consider here. Two recommended books: "Pursuing Sexual Wholeness" by Andrew Comiskey and C. S. Lewis "The Four Loves". Again, thank you for your video. I have an oil painting that looks yellowed, so I am thinking I should try cleaning it first with the Cotton Cleaner, but then hoping you have covered how to remove old varnish if that is the culprit.

CUT TO THE CHASE !!

Very well described and demonstrated Really appreciate your thoroughness. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Fabulous video, you're a true craftsman Gregory. All the best from Ireland.

I just finished a painting & put a hole in it. ARGH!! I WILL USE YOUR METHOD OF REPAIR so thank you so very much!!

Hi Gregory thanks so much for such a great tutorial! If i may ask you, could you please list all the products that you need for the job you are doing in this video and the type cloth that you use to do the circular motions? Thanks so much!

WOW! That doesn’t look anything like my persimmons in CA. Those look like grapes! 😳

Very well done ! I have 3 W.L. Judson oil paintings done around 1880. I also have 2 of his books written in 1877 and published in 1881 in London Ontario. The 1 painting I have is the only one that Wikipedia has under his name. Thank You

Mr Stewart plz help me with this painting? 😢

Dude is painting in a Hermes or Versace shirt?! Is that what it is? Love it. Amazing work.

I cannot find the Gainsboro products you referenced. Is there something else one can use available on Amazon? I have a 1906 oil painting I’m trying to clean.

How do I take the frames apart?

You really did bring those to life. Great work!

Have you done a video of patching a painting?

Thank You 👍

Did your technique remove the old varnish before you sprayed with the Krylon UV spray?

Your sister-in-law is very lucky. What a beautiful cake.

Beautiful

Thank you so much!

Very informative. Can you make more vids about painting restoration and cleaning with other solvents you use. Thx

Thank you for the very informative video! ☮️💞🙏🏼

You are a great teacher. Before I watched this, I watched a person advertising his product more often than what to do. I assume you just spray on one coat of the varnish but I am not sure. I bought some painting’s last weekend and they are filthy so wish me luck.❤

Bread pudding look good but who cook in a sport jacket and jewery

Where may I buy these two products?

Who is the painter of that pair of paintings?

Thank you the video was informative. I know nothing about cleaning paintings but my husband "inherited" two paintings from his grandmother. They're about 100 years old. My question is I live in Canada. Where can I get the equivalent to the products you suggested?

1930s? Victorian era?

Thank you so much and how to clean an oil painting when you brought the painting forward so we could see a close-up, regrettably there was so much glare that we couldn't see it at all. But I know it had to be beautiful, because you said so.

This is very helpful. Thanks!

Hello, I have many oil paintings from a grandparent who has passed, Would you have any suggestions on what to do with them? I have many hanging in my house but there are just too many to keep. They do need some TLC which is why I am watching the video but they are beautiful works of art that I would hate to see continue to sit in an attic (which is where most have been).

Wow--what a gorgeous cake! Lucky Cookie!

How do I check of it is oil or acrylic?

This is very charming and handy info ! Seems ok if you know the artwork does not have serious value. I think he is assuming you truly know for sure that it's ok to mess with the forever surface of the painting.

Thank you for the great tutorial on cleaning paintings. I also have the need to rescue and restore art. What do you do with all the art work? In my do-over life, I would be an art restorer … with more wall space.

Thank you for the techniques and solutions. Very well explained! Note for next time - when bringing the paintings close to the camera the lighting glare makes it difficult to see. Maybe a different angle? Maybe a bit further away? Anyway, at the end, we can see they both turned out SO STUNNING! Just gorgeous!

YOUR DOOR WAY IS THE BEST I'VE SEEN THIS YEAR !! THE WOW FACTOR !!

That is really good keep up the good work😀
