- For over 150 years a small factory in the Belgium countryside has been producing the finest artists linen in the world. Claessens has innovated, modernized and honed their craft over three generations but never lost the personal touch that results in a product worthy of a masterpiece.
In this episode we visit Claessens Artist Canvas to see how raw linen is meticulously prepared for the next great masterpiece of painting.

I’m also voting YES to season 2. One on brushes would be cool.
Yes! Me too
Yes, all sorts of artists materials, pencils, pastels, modellng clay, sculpting tools its endless
voting YES too
Yes please!
Yes! And the oil to go with the canvas.
If you’re thinking about season 2, I vote “yes!” Fascinating series.
we've gotta get this nominated for a streamy award. genuinely one of the best series out there
How?
This complete series should be shown in all schools, because quality and excellence are needed in all walks of life.
I also like the revelation that jobs you study at university for and jobs you start with an apprenticeship are equally valuable parts of the process. The people who mix the colors or carve the frames should be no less admired and valued than the people studying art collections or organizing an art exhibition. The people driving a harvesting machine are no less needed than the auctionators or art historians. It is all a community effort with the potential to find a wonderful fitting place for everyone. I wish we would see society like this more often. Although I am currently finishing my PhD, I definitely admire some of the cleaning TH-camrs more than certain rich or famous public figures - including some professors.
@user-iy9wk6vy7zblame the quality of education on the system, the lackadaisical parents, and the teachers who are barely getting support, not the kids. Kids don’t have a choice in their quality of care.
Julian, Well said! I am Dutch and lived for years in Belgium. In Europe the tradition of at least three years of apprenticeships in all sorts of fields is valued. Respected craftspeople who take great pride in their trade. You undertook an amazing journey and at the end of the day you must have been treated to amazing meals! France has the name but the Belgian cuisine is unrivaled.
Cracking series Julian!
Special one-off trip to the washi koso factory in Japan? :-)
Yes! I was kind of expecting it to be part of this series. Maybe the logistics were tough, but I hope it happens some day.
This is a must!!
It is such a part of your daily conservation process, that it would be a shame to miss out how washi kozo is made. Please try to add it to this wonderful enlightening series.
Season 2! Season 2! Season 2! This was a great series, partly for what we got to see and partly in Julian's interviewing skills. Bravo!
brushes, paints, mediums, different forms of painting ... so much stuff that could benefit from being shown. i love this series. its something that as far as i know has never been done. i love it.
Water colours ?
Julian your series is the only one who has ever shown these craftsmen. Excellent job!
This series should be wrapped up into a DVD/BlueRay pack and every art student should watch it. Knowing your materials matters!
Voting for this!
Truely a damn fine idea that!
Julian is growing into the David Attenborough of art restoration documentaries.
Very well done, a pleasant pace, articulate and packed with information.
I would never, in this world, have known that there was so much involved in making a painting! It was always a canvas, an artist and some paint. This is mind blowing, and so very interesting. It's good to know there are such talented craftspeople out there.
Thank you for a fascinating travel behind the canvas, not only the subject but also the complete production of this series was top notch. Compliments to all involved.
2nd THAT! I HOPE. .. said He felt like there was a Lot More... I HOPE SO! He's shown that He's a Good show Host, showin He has another talent to fall back on. 😊 What ever He was hostin... I'd Watch!
A season two featuring the Washi-koso makers, and the brush makers, and the stretcher and strainer makers, please!
The great Baumgartner in my country, even in my province ! I had to laugh at your pronunciation of the names, though ! :)
Been watching forever, seeing these videos of Julian in our little countr ymade me downright GIDDY. ^_^
en het is hier al de tweede video!
het logo van de vereniging was een kleine hint ;)
Thanks to the entire team behind this beautiful series. It’s one of the highest quality things I’ve yet found on this platform and I’m wildly grateful.
Lovin this New Series!! You make a GREAT HOST! U have shown U have another great talent to fall back on. ❤🎉😊
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series which has given us a behind the doors look into the world of art. Thank you Julian.
So grateful you are doing these behind the scenes; they add value to your restoration episodes. This information is fascinating.
YES to season 2!!! Brushes, of course, but also segment(s) on the artists themselves and what really drives them and their process of creation. You touched on it in the gallery episode, but I’d like to see a deeper look, maybe not just focusing on painters but sculptors and others as well. I also strongly agree that this series should be nominated for an award.
Am I the only one chuckling thinking of Baumgartner working with PVA, usually the bane of his life. 😂
I can almost tell what was going through his head when he asked, oh you use PVA? "I'm here to do a documentary about the best old methods of quality, and you have me here endorsing the use of PVA?!"
A simply extraordinary experience. Thank you Julian. More please, but not at the expense of Baumgartener Restoration episodes.
This is just next level, the quality of the people, the care, the production, the humble approach, even the aesthetics chosen for the edition, music and recordings, I can only applaud the effort, the love and the passion behind this, the world needs more curious perspectives, focusing on the people behind the art, the services and products, so thanks to you, your team and everyone involved. Keep this growing!
Pleeeeease season 2!!!!!!!! Brushes, washi koso, sculpting materials, so much more to learn and explore. Your videos are so professionaly don that they deserve to go on tv as a series. Your work is exeptional!!!!!!!
I would love paper and printmaking episodes!
Especially Washi Kozo... or Mulberry paper. However you want to go to be artistically correct 😂❤
There are a number of videos showing the making of washing logo in Japan- Labour intensive doesn't begin to describe it! No wonder it is so expensive.
Washi fanned auto correct.
Damned for heaven's sake!
Julian, this series has been wonderful! Thank you.
I'm so glad to see this labeled as season 1 because I hope that means there will be a season 2!
The crowd calling for a second season has gained a member! I am consistently blown away, inspired, and left with something to consider by your videos.
Sad to see the end of season one, but I say yes to season 2!!!
❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you does not adequately express my gratitude for these and all of your videos.
My hometown of Waregem, Belgium - since the middle ages, this part of Flanders was the center of the linnen production. It created the wealth used to build those historic city centers you all like to visit... like Bruges, Ypres, and others.
IT'S OVER?! NOOO 😭 Thank you Julian for this gift
Wow, December 14th to April 15th - 122 days! I'm looking forward to this documentary film already!
Sort of looks like somebody might be planning a vacation.... 8 videos posted with one set to release every 2 weeks.
Or maybe we'll get lucky and this is all in addition to the usual posts?
@@dw7444 When you consider that Julian and team have been producing regular restoration documentary films while this international series has been in production, I am sure that the restoration documentaries will continue to be made and uploaded!
I LOVE this series!! I definitely look forward to season 2! When it is nominated for a streamy, I will vote for it, very well deserved!
I definitely vote for season 2. Brushes, paper, watercolor, woodwork - there's so much more to explore! Also huge kudos to cameramen, they did fantastic job.
Julian: this whole travel/canvas/series was so worthwhile. I learned so much.
The whole story was incredible. Thank you. Carol from California
Wait… there’s only 3 people listed in the credits for this incredible series?!?!! Julian, Jack, and Tyler - did you have a team, or was it really just the 3 of you? Impressive either way, because this is a stunning series.
Just us three. 😁
@@BaumgartnerRestoration 🤝👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You have got to do a second season of this behind the canvas series. It's hugely fascinating and intriguing but probably important because when it come to art people just see the end product and never the work behind it which without it we wouldn't have the beautiful art we have today.
Season 2 please!! This entire series was first class all the way. Thank you so much for gifting us with this.
"Only begun to scratch the surface", lol. Love your work!
Wishing to see a documentary about brush making...
Love, love, love these. Thanks Julian!. I vote for more.
These videos have given me a wonderful feeling of satisfaction in knowing that there are still human beings involved in making superior products that are used to beautify our world. Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your experiences.
This whole series is one of the best things I've seen on TH-cam ever.
I've thoroughly enjoyed this series! Thanks for showing us some of the fine people in this wide industry.
Hold your cards, ladies and gents...I believe we have a winner. Excellent series.
Absolutely would love to see a season 2! I think I saw a rumor that funding was a problem, that this series didn't perform as well in the Algo as you would have liked, so don't be afraid to shill the Patreon Page a little more in your upcoming videos.
Series with this much overhead must take a LOTTA time and work behind the scenes! I had thought of this as a fun lil experimental project, but then my eyes popped when you WENT OVERSEAS! And that ending was SO satisfying, I truly do see what others have said before - this is some official PBS Documentary quality work!
Wonderful series! This was one of my favorite episodes, along with the Belgian linen and the oil paint ones. Now I can't wait to see you get elbows deep into a gnarly restoration with me having a deeper appreciation for everything that's gone into it.
This has been an absolutely fascinating and educational documentary series, excellently filmed and presented! I look forward to rewatching each episode again, and also to season two!
Superb series, thanks for all the joy and well presented topics. Camera, narration, sound - all worked together. Have a great day.
That 40 m long canvas is impressive! I can't thank you enough for showing wider audience all those amazing craftsmans and their work!
I really have been looking forward to these videos. A world often unseen, I’m team season 2!
There is beautiful science associated with art, and I really enjoyed this learning journey series. More, please! ❤ 🖼️
This whole series was wonderful, and so well made. Thank you Julian :)
Who would have thought that canvas making would be so awe inspiring, and an art in itself. Great series, thank you Julian.
This was truly an amazing series. Loved every single episode!! So great and interesting to see the unknown world of more then just a painting. Bring on Season 2 please
Outstanding series, Julian! Season 1 has set a high bar!
Thank you so much for taking us with you on this extraordinary journey. ❤
Thank you for this amazing series. I loved watching you smile with every new experience.
Thank you so much, Julian, for an instructive and fascinating series. Who knew that all that expertise was going on behind a painting on canvas. More, please - but continue with your wonderful restoration videos as well!
Every art school or classes should show this it shows what and how much goes into a painting besides the paint .and the work and skill and time and devotion of the people who keep art going.
This should be on Netflix or discovery! What an amazing series. And as an artist, it’s so interesting to see how everything started before we do our art. The before of the before.
I use Claessens linen for 12 years already and wouldn't use other brand. Thanks for showing!. Cheers.
This has been one of my favourite things to come out on youtube, maybe ever. Even as someone who doesn't paint or restore it's been fascinating to see everything that goes into the process. Thank you so much for making this.
This series reminded me of watching A&E and History before they destroyed their brands. Fantastic work, Julian. To season 2 :)
What a great series that you brought to us! Thanks for being bold and courageous in allowing us to experience your vision and appreciation for the world in which you work. These episodes were interesting, educational, and inspiring. You are a great storyteller and presenter. Much more please and thank you!!
More! More! More! Please and thank you.
❤Just fabulous!
I've never been interested in art until I discovered your channel, but I've really enjoyed this series.
I didn't realise you were doing this series! It's shot like the timeless BBC Arts Docs of my youth and feels absolutely fantastic to watch. Thank you!
Oh, that was a wonderful journey!!! Thank you Julian, for taking us to places that we don't really think about or wouldn't even realise existed! Fascinating and I, personally, learned a lot! Thank you again and can't wait to see what is next on the channel!
Love that you have found new and interesting things to introduce to viewers like me that compliments or goes beyond your quality restoration work videos.
It was such a experience to learn and see the enormity of what we get to appreciate on the pieces of art around the world! Thank you, Jullian and all the involveds!
It would be amazing to see a “behind the scenes” too, with the bloopers and staff moments! Maybe on a season 2!!!
Love from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Absolutely love this series, I also vote “Yes” for season 2… Very fascinating❤
YES to a second season of this.
Your channel is so interesting all on its own , and this series just added to it. So fascinating. I say, yes to a season 2.
As belgian I never had the opportunity to visit a production plant in the Flanders...Surprisingly, an american painting restorer passionate about his work had to come from so far away to reveal it to us through his magnificant videos. Hats off the artist !
As someone who enjoys looking at art but not an artist, I’ve been left fascinated by this series. Thank you 🏴
Yes! for a second season of these.
Oh, yes, more please! Well done!
Terrrrrrific! Yes, season two...bring it on as we are so fortunate to have this medium educate....to what I have always taken for granted. Thank You!
Thanks to Julian for influencing me in a hilarious way. I'm a small time hobby artist, literally a nobody in that regards, but whenever I varnish my pieces or move them about, it's narrated in my head by Julian as if they just came out of restoration 😂
Season 2! Ues! This has been a wonderful series Julian. So much information, so many wonderful craftsmen involved! Thank you for doing these videos! 💕
This was a wonderful journey. Thanks for showing it to us.
Im restorer from Slovakia . Regards.!
Loving this series Behind the scenes. A second season would be wonderful detailing the tools of the trade. Brushes etc.
Another fantastic episode! Thank you so much for highlighting these skilled craftsmen producing quality products.
Another season of exploring the very hands on side of art would be lovely!
i SOOOO much hoped for a episode about washi kozo! there need to be a second season just for that mulberry paper to appear!
Loved this series! Looking forward to season 2!! Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊
Yes please to a season two! I'd love to see you visit glass factories or factories that make clay.
Absolutely stunning, fascinating and illuminating. Please make another season. Maybe some episodes overseas and or a deep dive into magazines, archives and vault of famous museums and collectors. Pretty pease?!
How exciting! Fascinating! Yay Belgium, good job.
I would love a season 2! This series was excellent and fascinating!
YES to season 2! Please make more of these!
What an amazing series. Thank you Julian, for bringing to the forefront the unknown work performed by so many artisans, the unsung talent on one ever sees or even thinks about. Till now. Like your restoration episodes, this series transforms my understanding of artwork... artwork that i will never look at the same way again. I join others in voting an enthusiastic YES to a second series if that's being considered. Well done.
Second season is a must. The quality and professionalism of these episodes is exceptional. Thank you !
16:18 "If the canvas sticks together, that would be catastrophic" meanwhile on screen, the canvas sticks together
I can't see it sticking together. I see back to backs touching but that's fine since it's primed and everything.
Oh, I _so_ love seeing craftsmen show off their work! I do want to see more of this!
Utterly superb series, more! Of course, please.
Yes, yes, yes!!! Season 2!!!
