I thought it was a mistake at first that the narration wasn't there, but I've watched every video of yours and I knew exactly what you were using and what you were doing at each step, and I heard your smooth voice and everything hehe. The only thing missing was the snark and silent judgement at the old conservator's job.
I thought you forgot all about ASMR and switched to documentary-style videos. I am so thankful for you, and this video. Major insomniac here and as interesting and -yes- still relaxing as your recent videos have been, I have struggled to sleep with them playing as they haven’t been for ASMR purposes. Thanks Baum 👏🏼
Yes, I like the non-commentary ones since it helped me relax and ease into a restful sleep. The usual narrations are too interesting that I end up immersed and absorbed into paying close attention. What a problem!
Yes, I really used to enjoy his videos without all the critical comments and philosophies. I’m very glad he’s gone back to the more relaxed and fulfilling style that got us hooked in the first place. I so enjoy his mastery of his technique, without the distraction of the “frills”.
Tbh I think he'd be a fox like redd who does art conservation of real pieces unlike redd who sells fakes with his real stuff. Basically the good brother of redd
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel proud that Julien deems us worthy enough to watch without him having to explain it all to us anymore. Like "I trust you guys know by now what's going on."
It is a testament to how many of your restorations I have watched, that before it dawned on me that you were not narrating this project I was already providing the sound track in my head. lol Wonderful feeling.
I loved that I understood what you were doing and why at each step. You've taught me so much about conservation. One of your best videos ever. Thank you so much for sharing.
Ok, so first of all, Bravo, because that one was a real mess! 👏 👏👏👏👏 I've definitely watched enough of your videos to know exactly what you were doing at each step, but I have to say.... I REALLY missed your narration!!! It's simply not the same experience without it! It's not just the work you do that we love so much, it's also YOU! Your knowledge, humor, and commentary are what make your videos so special! For instance... I know you had something to say about the previous "conservation" efforts!!! 😂
I've spent many decades studying great art, Mr Baumgardner. This naturally leads to observing how damaged masterpieces are cared for. I've seen, to my horror, so-called "experts" inflict horrible damage on great works by the masters...from the Louvre to the Vatican. I have come to the conclusion, sir....that you are the best fine art restorer/conservator in the world...hands down. If I ever had someone come to me and ask about bringing a damaged masterwork back to life, I'd refer them to you. No one else. Keep your videos coming. They bring me joy!
Best bank holiday ever, enjoying the warm UK weather now I get to paint along with Baumgartner, nothing makes my day than an upload from you, the effort you put into your videos and your work astound me, well done and thank you on behalf of your fans!
The return of the ASMR videos! I can’t be the only one who was a little sad when he moved to doing more narration videos, as cool as it was to hear the process I also like the paint noises. Thanks for your hard work!
Using this as a revision tool for everything Julian has taught us so far. Think I got about 90% of it correct. An amazing transformation as always. You can really see and appreciate the character in the painting now. Truly amazing work.
yes omg!! could you upload more of these for those of us oldtimers who know the process well enough at this point to narrate it ourselves lmfao i honestly love them so much
Every time I watch your videos it is basically the same steps, but I can't explain why I still find enormous satisfaction as each step is played out before me. Then the triumphant reveal of the fruits of your labours fulfils my curiosity, until next time. Thank you.
This video may be my favorite. Without the narration, I was able to focus on the process in detail. I had the running commentary in my head. Thank you for inviting us into your studio!
Is the large painting with the bubbled surface leaning up in the background a job we will be seeing? What a big difference. Was exciting watching that white collar emerging from under that old varnish!
I agree. It is absolutely critical that we see a large painting restoration soon. My despair should be fully reversible if my eyes can be figuratively wrapped in a large layer of washi kozo.
Idk if it was a happy accident or intentional but it's really cool to be able to hear the sound of everything! Plus like others have said, I can almost hear Julians voice narrating as well ! Such great videos ! Absolutely brilliant!
The attention to detail and skill and effort you put into, cleaning, repairing the front, the back, the sides. Folding and tacking, in the canvas, the wood, the wedges, the varnish and paint is masterful!
Brilliant work! I also can self-narrate in Julian's voice (of course) and did so happily. I could even hear the lecture about how the conservator's job is to hide the damage and not repaint the piece, which for this job, was a huge challenge. There was SO much damage and missing original paint --what tremendous obstacles both ethically and physically. Yet, what an absolutely brilliant outcome. I'm sure the client could not possibly be happier with this final result. This video was a true "master's class" in conservation, by a true master conservator. Thank you so much for sharing this project with us.
I think you should start sending out two videos for each painting: one with narration and the other with asmr - I truly miss the old videos of hearing you talk and work your talent!
It is an absolute pleasure to watch the painting emerge out of the dirt and grime of years. Although it was damaged, I knew that you would help it emerge-- whole and beautiful.
I have now watched both the narrated and the ASMR version, and I gotta say, both are a gem. I love hearing your commentary but I also love the high quality sound effects. Thank you for your wonderful work as always!
I've enjoyed hearing all the sound that usually are covered by the voice, it feels like being in the studio. Great. Thanks and congratulations for another fantastic restoration
The poor face was so damaged I might have just drawn a contemporary mask or slash across the eyes and said it was some sort of commentary on the past.... You did a lovely job restoring it though!
The professionalism of the restoration is high. However, I would also praise a high quality film. There seems to have been some sound left in 15:18 that perhaps should have been removed in the editing?
Always a fan of alliteration and your restorations. Also appreciate the time lapse of the fish gelatin soaked washi kozo drying -it's reminiscent of fog rolling in and concealing what will eventually be revealed. Fairly apt conceptually with the work you do. Bravo on this reveal!
I turned this on with the intention of using it as background noise while I worked and instead watched the entire video and then immediately went to the narrated one after. *Legend has it she has not done work since*
Awesome!! I'll wait until tonight to watch it, I always like to watch your videos before sleeping, Julian, they calm me and bring me joy, they put me to sleep very good, and I don't mean that they're boring, but very soothing.
It's sooo quiet in your studio--I can hear every brush stroke and crackle of the canvas separating! You never cease to amaze me with finding new ways to entertain while accomplishing such exacting work in restoring various works of art.
I am always amazed at how white the whites are and that there is actually color in the backgrounds of these portraits. Loved the sounds of work but I do so enjoy your soothing voice. Thank you for a deeply relaxing start to my day. See you next time!
Before your conservation I thought he was a much older man. Revealed, he is much younger - and corpulent! What a marvelous painting. What a marvelous conservator.
In addition to the restoration itself and the voice overs, subtle humour and shade etc etc I am loving your caption/ title/ naming skills as well. Way to go Julian. 👏👏
Julian im so happy you posted another asmr video!! as other people have mentioned in the comments i sleep to these too! but tbh i sleep to the voiceovers as well. its like having a tv on and falling asleep on the couch as a kid. anyway just wanted to say you are so appreciated and the passion you have for your work is very apparent.
Really appreciate that you released a narration-free video like this. It's not that I don't like hearing you talk about the conservation process, but sometimes - like this video - it's OK to not have to talk nonstop for a half hour ;)
Stunning transformation as always. Wasn’t sure I would like it with no narration but as everyone else said I heard Julian telling me what was happening! I think I’ve watched a few of his videos.
This was as enjoyable as anything I have ever seen you do. Your expertise is wonderful to watch along with your talent and artistry...I love what you do and watching you do it. Thanks for the great video...Pure Wonder!
Toujours une excellente surprise de découvrir ce que cachent les abus du temps et les conservations passées ! Très joli time lapse du séchage du washi kozo 🤩 Remarquable travail de restauration… as always ! 😄 Merci ! 🌸🌸🌸 PS : malgré le silence, après avoir suivi beaucoup de vos vidéos, je comprenais les différents traitements de la toile et du cadre… 😉 L’excellence de la transmission !
I just got recommended your channel and this is the first one I have watched. I have no idea what your doing- but I am now subscribed bc I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks!!
I'm on your Patreon, and I love that you're still putting out the non-narration videos. No disrespect to your voice, but sometimes just watching (and hearing) you work is so, so satisfying.
I love your ASMR…I don’t hear the other asmr. Seriously your asmr videos are only asmr that I listen! it makes me sooo calm..plz keep making ASMR videos!! Thank you for your hard working
I was amazed to see the hair to the left. It didn't show before you started cleaning it. It gives such a new perspective, and how the man really looked through the artist's eyes. Thank you for sharing. I liked the abstractish painting you showed next to your table. That looks very interesting.
This video is just the thing I need after a crazy morning! One of my students left a glass bottle full of juice over the weekend at school , which promptly started to ferment and while I was writing on the white board exploded showering me with glass and juice … luckily no students were injured. Just a teacher who is sticking to the floor.
I love the paintings you work on. I enjoy watching the process from chaos to serenity. It would be interesting to see what kind of frame would work best with these paintings.
The zen of restoration. Even without narration I clearly hear your voice guiding us through the process. “Washikozo” (kōzogami - I believe more accurate but doesn’t nearly roll off the tongue as well). Thanks again for sharing your art and skill with us.
I really like when you post both narrated and ASMR versions of the same videos. I know a lot of people like the asmr but i watch these when I'm falling asleep and the sounds make me want to look when i can otherwise listen to your description Note: i also do watch them when I'm awake lol
Wow, that was impressive. Thanks to having seen all your videos, I knew exactly what you were doing; if you ever do a fully narrated version, I'll watch it, too. Thank you for making your work accessible. I'm an art historian and I've learned a lot.
Gosh. I've seen so many of these videos I can now narrate most of it myself, in my head, and with Julian's voice.
Heh, I was thinking the same thing.
literally was going to say this exact same thing haha
One up
Let’s subtitle it.
Exactly!!!
I thought it was a mistake at first that the narration wasn't there, but I've watched every video of yours and I knew exactly what you were using and what you were doing at each step, and I heard your smooth voice and everything hehe. The only thing missing was the snark and silent judgement at the old conservator's job.
Yes, me axactly. In my head " using the balsa wood scraper to smooth out the plastic because it is a.......".
"This video narrated by Auditory Hallucination Julian." (Don't worry... I heard him too!)
Same. I was hearing "stabilize the painting with a layer of washikozo and fish gelatin adhesive....." etc etc 😁
Right? I could explain every step of this to anyone who asked. 😂
Same here!
I thought you forgot all about ASMR and switched to documentary-style videos. I am so thankful for you, and this video. Major insomniac here and as interesting and -yes- still relaxing as your recent videos have been, I have struggled to sleep with them playing as they haven’t been for ASMR purposes.
Thanks Baum 👏🏼

@@tama3442 Why did God make us sinful by nature, only to then demand that we don't act sinful? Seems to me like he's gaslighting us.
Say the full name because Baum means Tree its a german Name but out of context a little. I dont want to be rude ;)
The sped up/skipping voice sounds left in are what Julian would sound like as an Animal Crossing character. (Say, for example, a smug unicorn)
Yo, that is EXACTLY the AC type of character he'd be. I'm here for it
@@tama3442 💸👹
Tbh I think he'd be a fox like redd who does art conservation of real pieces unlike redd who sells fakes with his real stuff. Basically the good brother of redd
If I was a dead artist and saw this kinda stuff I would be so happy to see my art work fixed and restored with justice
I love it when bright, white, delicately-painted lace is revealed. The sheen in the silk garments is spectacular!
Is it just me, or does anyone else feel proud that Julien deems us worthy enough to watch without him having to explain it all to us anymore. Like "I trust you guys know by now what's going on."
It is a testament to how many of your restorations I have watched, that before it dawned on me that you were not narrating this project I was already providing the sound track in my head. lol
Wonderful feeling.
Aww, ASMR is back. I like your narrated versions but I absolutely love the ASMR versions.
i missed it so much…
@@tama3442 weirdo
The sped up Julian's voice at 15:00+ woke me up 🤣
My brain: Okay. I'm sorry. I'll finish the video before I'll sleep. Jeez! 🤣
😆 🤣 I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts honestly
I loved that I understood what you were doing and why at each step. You've taught me so much about conservation. One of your best videos ever. Thank you so much for sharing.

@@elliepascoe5954 there is a speaking version uploaded at the same time, this is the asmr one
Don’t speak for all of us. You don’t know what everyone wants to hear!
Love this ASMR version. OMG moment when he starts on the collar.
On second thought, we're you mad at us and giving us the silent treatment?
I think he became “mad” when he held us in suspense with the creepy Halloween eyes. Lol

It's Labour Day holiday here in Australia but what better idea to finish it off with a restoration. Roll on Julian.
i LOVE the asmr versions of these videos!! so relaxing and sleepy
I was missing the old asmr format. LOVED IT!
Having only the sound of the actions and objects can be so very interesting, I really appreciate it and enjoyed it, Thank you, Mr. Julian.
i missed this kind of dual-posting lately. love the option between the two
The return of the ASMR videos! I can’t be the only one who was a little sad when he moved to doing more narration videos, as cool as it was to hear the process I also like the paint noises. Thanks for your hard work!
I hope Baumgartner narrate my life as he restores it.
I'm SO HAPPY that you brought back another ASMR(ish) video!!!
I swear I could spend six hours just watching Julian clean a painting
Using this as a revision tool for everything Julian has taught us so far. Think I got about 90% of it correct. An amazing transformation as always. You can really see and appreciate the character in the painting now. Truly amazing work.
yes omg!! could you upload more of these for those of us oldtimers who know the process well enough at this point to narrate it ourselves lmfao i honestly love them so much
I've missed the ASMR videos so much! Thank you for giving us another one ❤️
I’m begging you - please do more ASMR!! ❤️I’ve been rewatching the old ones for years bc theyre the only thing that helps when I can’t sleep🥺
finally the AMSR ish is back! Im really really glad!
Its been a while for ASMR videos. Please do more, they are great!

...beautifully done. I too had your voice calling out your steps in my head. I love what you do, thanking you for taking us along.
I watched the narrated version and then decided I needed to watch this version too. I love the sounds of and artist or craftsperson at work.
I've enjoyed hearing all the sound that usually are covered by the voice, it feels like being in the studio. Great. Thanks and congratulations for another fantastic restoration
i don't know which one I like better. I love the working sounds, but also really love the narration. So glad to have both versions.
The poor face was so damaged I might have just drawn a contemporary mask or slash across the eyes and said it was some sort of commentary on the past.... You did a lovely job restoring it though!

You live rent free in my head now. I heard rhe silent narration in my head.
Julian...your shared voice/personality are a big part of your program.
But. But... the narration is the soundtrack that gives these videos there laid back and relaxing quality. It's crazy to not want the soundtrack
This video is just the thing I need after a crazy morning! One of my students left a glass bottle full of juice over the weekend at school , which promptly started to ferment and while I was writing on the white board exploded showering me with glass and juice … luckily no students were injured. Just a teacher who is sticking to the floor.
Students never cease to amaze me at the things they innocently put you through! 😳 Happy no one was hurt.
