Oh, Brother Part 1

--
It is not uncommon to look at a painting and right from the outset know that the scope of work will be broad and demanding. The hope is that despite all of the problems and challenges, the piece will respond well to the treatments and reveal itself as worthy of care and attention. Nevertheless, that first glance often yields a resounding "Oh, Brother"

I can just imagine Kit looking at the Employee of the Month listings just to see the Hot Table listed several times.

Julian: let’s circle the areas of retouching
(Proceeds to outline the entire painting)

Kit yawning and on her phone in the background is hilarious

Please never think we bore of this process. I know you might think that 'new content' is what we're looking for, but it's not. Although the process is very similar with every painting, the small nuances and watching your fictitious work is why we're here. I was trying to save this one until part 2 came out so I could watch them back to back, but I didn't last long. Thanks for your great content.

Every time Julian uses Washikozo, I am extremely happy. It’s my favourite material that I haven’t used myself 😂

"A monk with a crucifix" is a bit of an understatement -- that's St. Francis of Assisi. The stigmata on the hands and brown robe give it away.

Julian: "Because of course, square Things are easy. You know...like Squarespace."
Me: "Oh, Brother..."

🤣🤣🤣

I get so excited when I see Julian going in the UV room because you know it's going to be a doozy! 😂

something that really gets to me about these videos, when the painting is covered in old varnish and overpaint and grime, because we get to be the first people in who knows how long to see it as it was meant to be seen. theres just something so beautiful about having the privilege to live in an era where we can restore art with such care and precision

[andiyfarr]

I really appreciate that you point out the different areas of concern using color-coding under the black light. It's great for helping those of us with untrained eyes see what you're talking about. Love your videos!

[shanettequao]

The whole painting was fluorescing, I just groaned! No wonder Julian named the title like this!

[srrfounder]

Thank you for correcting
yourself, Julian, after all
these years. It is, in fact,
kozowashi. ~Mikio 😊✌️

Julian, I would like to inform you that the person in the picture is not "a monk, " as you say at minute 1:04, but is St. Francis of Assisi (a friar, not a monk) as shown by the fact that he bears the stigmata. St. Francis has been the first and only male saint to bear the stigmata until the XX century, when St. Padre Pio received them too; so his identification in ancient paintings is unmistakable.

I like your comment about how using technology for "technology's sake" isn't always the best or most efficient solution and sometimes using old time-honored techniques are better paths to take. It was great to see your finished picture frame project from your previous video installment looking luminous and fancy against the wall. Thank you!

I just think it's really cool to see kid working in the background herself from time to time. Happy to see she's making progress and knowing Julian isn't alone in the studio so much!

15:00 Watching the hot table envelope go from loose to taut will never get old.

I love seeing such a beautiful painting of St. Francis on a Monday morning

[lauren]

I love seeing Kit in the background of the videos just doing her own thing 6:36 lol

[KevboKev]

3:47 - Thank you for creating a new map for my next D&D game!

4:21 that transition to talking about the ad is smooth, you got nice soothing voice
