Oil painting & Watercolour conservation and restoration

Oil paintings, while known for their durability, are not immune to damage. Rips, tears, and punctures can occur, diminishing the overall aesthetic of the artwork. My restoration process involves carefully assessing the damage and applying the appropriate techniques to repair the canvas. This may include patching tears, re-stretching the canvas, and ensuring that the original texture and appearance are preserved.

Foxing refers to the unsightly brown spots that often appear on watercolor paintings due to a combination of factors, including humidity, paper quality, and age. These spots can detract from the beauty of the artwork and may even compromise the integrity of the paper over time. My restoration services include effective techniques to remove these blemishes, restoring the original vibrancy of your watercolor pieces. 

Over time, dust, grime, and environmental factors can dull the surface of oil paintings. A thorough cleaning is essential to reveal the artwork’s true colors and details. I offer full cleaning services that remove these contaminants while being gentle enough to preserve the integrity of the paint. After cleaning, I provide re-varnishing, which not only enhances the visual appeal, but also protects the painting from future damage.
