Once upon a time, I went to sell my paintings at outside event. It was a lovely day filled with sunshine and laughing children. Everything was great... until... out of no where, a great gust of wind knocked over one of my paintings and it went tumbling down and the metal frame cut into the unsuspecting canvas below. Sadly, my lovely little painting was left with a big tear. Fortunately, I am trained in art restoration.. and I would like to share with you how I repaired my birdy painting... and how I could restore yours as well.. if you let me...
The tear. In this lighting you can see how the impact caused deformations in the canvas.
I attached a new piece of canvas under the tear and then put this zone under pressure while it dried to regain it's original eveness of the canvas.
I then carefully chiseled away the excess dried paste until it was at an even level with the surrounding paint.
I then painted over the paste with various colors to imitate the existing paint.
