Art Restoration Houston
This is an example of restoring oil paintings that need more than cleaning. As you can see there is a small area on the top left which still needs to have a paint touch up which in “our circles” is called in-painting. You may wonder how to clean an oil painting. We say, keep wondering. Unless yours is a $10 painting from a garage sale, we say, don’t take the risk!
We have even had to re-restore paintings done by supposed experts. Not only should you not try to clean the painting yourself, you should get references from any oil painting restorer before you trust them with your painting.
Oil painting restoration techniques are very tedious and take not just a skilled hand, but when it comes to touching up any lost paint, it moves into the gifting category of a gifted artist. Some things just can’t be learned if the gift is not there.
Can you imagine having a dirty looking painting, giving it to Maris and then getting it back with the beautiful colors as bright as they were appoximately 70 years ago!
The oil painting restoration cost, quoted by us, here in Houston, will be a fair one. Call us!
