I agree that the Young Master's head seems to sit oddly on the body; but looking at that portrait of the little girl @12:30, I thought hers did as well - less so, but still not quite right. The same for the figure on the left in the painting with the two children @14:22. I do hope that you'll find better work under some of the overpaint. The Young Master's face and especially the eyes are so expressive.

Tip put your camera on manual focus and set it to an average depth of field.

I don't like what you did with the pupil on the left (his right). Too heavy handed with the black pupil and removing the highlights. Same with the other eye.

Every portrait of the Lloyds I can find is definitely not wig party clothing. So I find it unusual that this son or grandson or other heir would be such a glaring exception. The Lloyds seemed to be conservatives.
@jackfntwist Күн бұрын
Leads me to think this portrait is not a Lloyd, and I think the sitter is much too handsome to be other than a model. Lol.

Could the writing on the stretcher be "London"?
@jackfntwist Күн бұрын
The original is wonderful. My theory, as a photographer, is that the sitter or his family was not happy with the way his mouth area looked, perhaps a bit scruffy, and asked someone to retouch it to look more clean shaven. And then the retoucher was out of his depth.

Once again love the preference for tradition & non-synthetic treatments & attempt to discover the artist! Though the background & robe seem earlier than Victorian.... But could also be parent's choice vs artist's...

Gilbert Baldrey challange accepted! I am an amature genealogist. In five minutes I've found him in the 1911 Census in Brighton, Sussex, England. 79 years old. Career: Artist Painter. I'll email more. Earlier Census shows he's the son of George W. Baldry (sic), also an Artist.

From a costume history point of view the clothing is from the late 1830's, between about 1837 and 1841 or so. If it's your later painter, it could be a copy of an earlier picture but the stamp on the canvas fits right in with the style of the clothing. Pity about the damage and condition but I'm impressed with your skill at retouching and I'm sure you'll make it look very much less pathetic that it is now.
@ParadiseBlue1866 2 күн бұрын
Could the painting actually be done by his father, George William Baldry who was a portrait painter.

If your studio becomes too clean and tidy, I'll start to suspect you are AI! I think keeping a working shop too clean is akin to being a lier.

Again I've learned something new from your video. I've never seen wax used in that manner. It was so interesting to watch. His eyes are ...I don't know the words. When you started to uncover them it was as though he was staring right at me. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

Im not a restorer or even know much about painted portraits, but my very first thought on seeing those hands was that they had been very badly overpainted. They just don't seem to match to the quality of the rest of the work. The somewhat large head doesn't bother me. Some children of that age have quite large heads. I'm guessing the worst overpainting will be the face and hands.

Come on guys. Bloomfield and Baumgartner are two different people in two different countries with two different styles. I’ve watched all of their videos and enjoy them. They both use great care and attention to the art in their care and achieve the same results in the end. Stop trying to make this a contest.

I started watching art restoration with the Chicago guy, and later discovered this English gentleman’s channel. Baumgartner shows the process clinically and succinctly with an almost exact repetition of the process, textbook. Bloomfield offers a look at the reality of the process: slower, not always smoothly, but more shall l say, realistically. The first shows what the process steps are composed of, the second offers a more real-time experience that l can appreciate because of the first one’s classroom experience. I do horse tack and blanket repair. Seeing art repaired and restored is a pleasure for me. I am grateful to both for creating their channels to open up this world to those of us who would otherwise have no contact with.

I have been researching the wax-resin effects on paintings which have been relined in this fashion. There are some interesting investigations from the Rijksmuseum and the National Gallery in London. On certain paintings, given how their canvases were originally prepared, the exposure of the canvas, and the type of paints used, that there can be subtle or more obvious darkening to the picture. The technique was largely used in the Netherlands. I am curious why you chose this method in this case rather than some other compounds.

Can we not get through just ONE of this guy's videos without some ass mentioning Baumgardner?? He an elitist, pretentious, egotistical know it all riding off the back of daddy. Unfortunately, his name is like nails on a chalk board half because of him but half because of how his followers like to harass other restorers....and they know sweet f.a. except what they saw HIM do and somehow he has convinced these minions that his is the only way, his products are the only products. I've seen them even criticize restorers who were doing pictures belonging to the likes of royalty!! Now THAT is Baumgartner arrogance!

A little tip, not a criticism. When doing the voiceover, be mindful that you have a loud swallow, which can be distracting. I love the videos. I just wanted to mention it as I think it would improve the quality of your videos. Keep up the good work.
