Not a painting, sure, but it's still painted and exhibiting all the issues that paintings face so why not a painting's conservator?

I feel like we need a video where Julian explains all his "don't ask me how I know" mistakes
Let's make this happen
Are you asking how he knows?
I'm begging for this

I am consistently amazed at the number and variety of complex skills Julian has mastered to restore various forms of art. Bravo!
I am consistently amazed at Julian. Period. There, fixed it ;-)
Almost like its his job. He should get a job doing this.
including seamless intros to skillshare ads
@@shermansherbert2570 sure its his job but weve heard even him say that he used to be unable to do certain complex restorations and there are plenty of art restorers who are limited to 1 art form. Just because its his job doesn’t make it less impressive! Its the job of some scientists and doctors to find cures to illnesses that lack a cure but that doesn’t make their ability to do so less impressive
under the economic system revealed by adam smith and expanded upon by austrian economics, a businessman or otherwise someone who has a skill to sell can maximize profits, customer happiness and sales by accumulating as many skills as possible. therefore it makes sense
I feel like Julian undersells the incredible amount of work this must have been. The surface area of an three dimensional object this size is equivalent to that of a very large painting. Bravo
Not too much, having to go in and apply work in hard to teach places. I was staring at the inside of the robe of the figure and was thinking to myself, how much work must go into reaching that spot alone?
Me: wondering what fancy tool Julian will use to smooth out the fill in medium on the hand
Julian: *uses finger*
Me: Nice.
"don't ask me how I know"....I love the way Julian has become so familiar with his public
I love when we get videos about pieces that aren't your normal oil paint on canvas!
Yeah! Love to watch his thought/work process and technique concerning different works of art😁❤️
Agreed. While paintings videos are very satisfying, I love the unusual pieces that come along.
Hahaha Yea!
"From beer to bean, and everything in-between" You sir, are a word magician
Given his lead-ins to other videos, I'm convinced Mr. Baumgartner is a repressed poet. :)
Whenever I watch your videos I always quietly think to myself, when I grow up, do I want to be an art conservator? You inspire me and probably so many others to partake in this career path and that’s super respectable. Thank you, Julian.
You say that until you take a college level chemistry class, oof…
@@stonefree5136 yeah not very excited for that part of it💀
@@stonefree5136 Chemistry is fun ! When you know the basics
@@latitzouri everything is fun until you start getting into theoretical stuff. That’s the worst part of college, if I want to be an art conservationist teach me art conservation and history, not how to predict with 85% confidence the placement of electrons in the outermost shell of this certain ionic bond
I think my life would have taken a very different turn if Julian had been around 20-30 years ago. I know there are young people watching this now that had no idea that art conservation was even a thing, or how varied and interesting it can be.
As a non catholic I find it amazing that there is a patron saint for literally everything. Make beer? There’s this guy. Wanna steal things? Saint Nicolas has your back.
There’s also have a patron saint of lost things (saint anthony) and cats (saint Gertrude)
You've just got a lost cause on your hands? Saint Jude Thaddeus is your go-to
Hahahah not that far to a stealer protection.
@@cysioland i know that st jude is the patron st of lause causes/ hopeless cases because St Jude's childrens hospital is named after him, which is a mildly depressing fact.
Saint Isidore of Seville is the patron saint of the internet!
“Because I like making more work for myself….” Oh the souls of a perfectionist! 💕🐝💕🇺🇸
Greetings from Belgium. I grew up in a town near Oudenburg (Flanders). As a matter of fact I grew up on what used to be the grounds of the Abbey. Nice te see some local history (for me).

@@Elmithian we're not in kansas anymore (the one I remembered) and fantastic encaustic (which is 2 weeks old and I already forgot)
Great job! Just FYI, his staff is more correctly called a crozier, and is the symbol of his position as a bishop. Also I think the statue was originally planned for a position above eye level, so Arnold is looking down on the viewer and the viewer is looking up. As one does with a sainted brewer.
And being on a fireplace mantle allows said viewing which is likely how he got so sooty and grimy.
The mash rake restoration was ingenious! Great job! You deserve a cheer or two.
I think you meant a *beer* or two! 🍻
Never even heard of a mash rake or Saint Arnold.
The metallic paint is such a good idea, it’s very pretty. Have you ever thought of making your own custom paint like this one?
There's thousands of paint brand, they are approved and consistent.
Why would you create your own paint?
@@ameunier41 he said in the video that regular metallic paint isn’t archival paint. Meaning you couldn’t reverse it if another conservator came along and wanted to redo this piece. Since I’m not a conservator I’m not sure if there simply isn’t archival metallic paint or if Julian just didn’t have any, but that’s why he needed to make his own with mica powder.
I mean, he *did* make his own custom paint. Do you mean to sell or something?
@@feeling-dizzie I mean... that sounds like a good idea to me
he did say that this kind of paint should be mixed on the spot since it dries up almost immediately. selling it would be like selling pre-mixed epoxy clay. one can simply buy the two separate parts and mix them together before use.
Am I the only one who winced when Julian used his nice Gingher shears to cut paper? That would be a SERIOUS offense to any seamstress LOL
Painful!!! I think many of us would be hit on the back of the head for using mum’s sewing shears on ANYTHING but fabric…
I yelled Noooo!
Oh yes, I groaned "oh no" my friend once went to cut paper with my fabric shears I almost lost my mind. She couldn't understand why, cut fabric with kitchen scissors if you must but never ever use fabric shears to cut anything but fabric. She quickly learnt...
The effect paper has on fabric shears is vastly overstated. Especially if you perform proper maintenance on your tools. Many tougher fabrics (eg. canvas) are going to damage shears more than an bit of paper will, as well.
I lost 2 minutes of my life gasping!
I can't help but feel like he looked depressed and exhausted at the beginning, until your restoration breathed in new hope. The change is so profound.
Exactly! Julian cheered him up with the fresh color. After all, no one wants to see a glum brewmaster!
Bravo! Really enjoyed this restoration. I collect German Putz figures & smokers, so really familiar with the paint from my antique ones. I'm not brave enough to try to clean them, but was fascinated to watch you do it. Thank you.
The term "putz" is V-E-R-Y funny! It's a Hebrew word:
"a fool"
putz. A stupid fellow, a fool, a jerk; also a slang term for the penis, and for this reason, as Leo Rosten cautions in The Joys of Yiddish (1968), “Putz is not to be used lightly, or when women or children are around.” schlep (also schlepp, shlep).Jun 24, 2013"
@@mircat28 I can never get over people who categorize woman and children in a group that is opposed to men.
@@torkakarshiro5170 Actually, this type of situation (not swearing or speaking about taboo subjects) was intended as respect.
@@theabristlebroom4378 It comes out of a position of general disrespect though, if you think about it. But I get our point.
It is finally restored, kudos. Take care and God bless amen.
Loved the video! Btw, his "tunic" is a rochet or surplice, and his "staff" is a crozier.
he is, in fact, Saint Nicholas.
The 'staff' is indeed a crozier, and should be turned 90° clockwise, so that the 'open' part of the curve is in the front.
Look at pictures of bishops during mass.
The restauration work itself is amazing (as usual on this channel), this is an easy mistake to get right !
@@DrWhom no, it’s st arnold
You are a master of many skills. A carpenter, chemist, cleaner, painter, forger and a saint (as in patience of a saint) LOL.
Definitely 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️✌️🦋
i like danie you good humour
"because I like making more work for myself and taking things that should be simple and making them complex" as a programmer, I felt that.
"Don't ask me how I know" would be a great theme for a video imo
I literally gasped when the grime came off that red paint. It's so beautiful underneath!
Love the extra big Japanese saw on such tiny bits of wood on the Mashrake!
I really enjoyed that one! Something a little different but same basic idea. I buy a lot of vintage items and clean them and resell them. I clean way more than I thought I would. Lots from smokers homes, items stored in the basement or shed, planters that have seen better days.
The transition into the ad was so seamless I didn't even realize it'd happened
I'm always excited when I see a new video from you, Julian - it's always a treat! Thank you for sharing your work with everyone.
I have been binge-watching these videos for over 2 hours. how and why are these so interesting. it seems entertaining only when you've been watching these
Hello, I am a young Brazilian girl, lover of restoration and sacred art. I like your videos, especially when you restore old paintings, in silence. It's just that I'm hearing impaired (😞) and if I could have sign language in your videos, I'd love it. A big hug and keep it up, with high quality videos.
Love seeing statues and 3D works of art once in a while. You did a great job as always. I'm lying in pain in my bed, and this video helped me relax.
I totally agree Ray👍❤️✌️🙏🏼🦋
Every time I hear an artist soeak of "Don't aske me how I know.." in any context I feel it 🤣
Don't ask me how I know
Cheers Julian 😉always my pleasure❤️your work❤️❤️❤️✌️🦋
I don't want to say I am addicted to your videos, but I just can't stop looking at them: The combination of you doing something I've always been exceedingly fascinated by, your voice, and the exceptional pacing does wonders. AND you have some preternatural color knowledge, just looking at a color in a dilapidated state and somehow knowing what to mix and how to is mindblowing. Thank you kindly for the videos!
All I can see is ' sinterklaas '. That is a dutch tradition every year for children. Great job, looks so much better now!
Yeessssssss I was thinking the same thing😂
“Because I like to make more work for myself” 😆 I’m always amazed at Julian’s incredible attention to detail and variety of skill and commitment to perfection. This is why I love watching these videos.
Very neat to see a different type of restoration that's not just a "painting on canvas."
A wonderful achievement! Thanks for sharing.
I always marvel at the scope of Julian’s restoration skill portfolio. I am also so excited to see the before and after views of the piece and this certainly didn’t disappoint. But this video reinforced the work ethic, attention to detail and desire to do the best for his client when he created the mash fork piece that had broken off. Absolute professionalism. His dad would be proud. I think I may just watch this a second time!
Oooof that little mention around 9:15 hit me right in the gut. Been there, but never on something like this!
What a GIFT you have. Beautiful!
I love these videos watching them cheers me up when I'm depressed
The change to this statue is just amazing! Good work Julian! You are a Master at your craft!
Im always amazed when you paint the details. I find myself more often than not thinking: thats so much paint! No way one wouldn't see the difference! But then you zoom out, and it just all makes sense. Just great work
My favorite part of these is the cleaning. It’s so relaxing and satisfying to see the pieces get cleaned.
It's amazing what even just the cleaning did for the statue!
I just started watching your videos & I can't get enough. You have amazed me with your knowledge & skills. I so appreciate your meticulous care in restoring art. Now, I cannot watch any other sloppy conservators. I have to say Julian, as a conservator, that you incorporate many talents that you have to employ in your work: physicist, chemist, carpenter, mathemetician, artist, creator, genius etc. to name a few. Also, you have a beautiful pleasant voice which you wonderfully use to narrate your processes & stories. I hope you continue to post videos. I am an artist & I so appreciate your work. Thank you!
To me he looks like the Dutch Sinterklaas, the staff, the red robe, yet Sinterklaas has a white beard. It must be so nice to be able to restore old art, love to watch your work.
I wish there had been some macro before/after photos to really illustrate the change in the metallic paints. Some rotating in front of lights would have been magical!
Julian is the patron saint of saints, the saint was like "hey Julian thanks for the miracle"
No matter how valuable a piece is having it conserved and restored by Julian makes it even more valuable.
Oh wow, this restoration is amazing. I love seeing your work on wood pieces with complex issues [the Salvatore Mundi, the Ave Maria icon, etc.], and watching you get better and more creative with each project is both a joy and incredibly motivating for my own endeavors. Also, I'm picking up some excellent woodworking tips for when I inevitably have to jerry-rig a prop or set piece in theatre, so thanks for that!
Yay! My Monday has just become a whole lot better! Please excuse me while I skip around a bit and do a little happy dance.
Watching Julian work his magic and thinking about beer before I've even had coffee
Ora Pro Nobis indeed.
The variety of restoration work makes these videos so interesting to watch.
I like the historical background of why the piece is so important for his time spent on it.
Nice job.
Daaangg saint Arnold out here getting the best skin care service of his life ✨
This was my first time watching one of your restoration videos. I was completely mesmerized. Thank you
I love watching your videos. I give them the same level of attention as I would ‘Masterpiece Theater’. Your narration, the story of your work, has a beginning, middle, and a beautiful ending. It is always a treat when I watch.
When you cleaned the skin I was laughing thinking about how much he looked like a sorority girl with an aggressive fake tan
Man you are good. I Mean good. Fantastic skill sets. Nice job on the statue.
Awesome job as always! I do have a question though: did *you* need to take any precautions due to the lead paint? I was glad to hear you say the varnish would help prevent future flaking, but how did it affect the rest of your process, if at all?
im not an expert but iirc lead in small amounts doesn't really have that much of an effect unless you're in contact with it over a very long period of time. therefore i don't think any percaution would be necessary here
Main thing about lead precautions is yo not make it airborne. So don't sand items with lead paint instead use a chemical paint solvent. Because Julian isn't removing the paint at all there shouldn't be any worry
I normally save new videos for after the kids are in bed, so I can enjoy them. This time however I am to intrigued to wait.🤣😁
Edit: I have just completed the video and even though I have been watching them for a few years now. I love that I am still reacting the same when I see the final pictures. "Holy shit" I am still stunned at the amazing transformation. 👏 😍
Entering the world of miniatures! Awesome.
Cheers to you. Admire your work alot
Guarantee that collector has a Stein arsenal the size of two of my apartments haha! Masterful work as always Sir!
the sculpture restorations are more interesting to me. i love these videos
This is really wonderful. After watching many of your videos, I believe you have the absolute smoothest segues to your sponsors!🌸
Hah, Julian sneakily readjusting the bishop's staff by turning the more detailed side of the headpiece to the front - I see what you did there! Good job on fixing that, it probably got turned around at some point because it was not attached to the statue or the bottom part of the staff.
Awesome man... restoration as art... returning a piece to its glory by maintaining a level of respectable patina is reverence to not only the carving and the painter but honors the contribution of time itself.. and the deepest level of such artistry is leaving the piece in such a way that your footprint will only be its continued longevity...
You are truly a master above masters...
Cheers, for your content! It's helping to keep my sanity during the harshest period of my life and my country.
Cheers to you! Another Beauty, but of course that is what we expect. Thanks again for uploading your work. My grand daughters love to watch too.
3:53 bishop's staff is called crosier.
This piece looks a lot like sinterklaas which is like the dutch version of santa
Excellent work. I agree with the notion of keeping an aged appearance to this piece, but still "sprucing up" the areas of damage and brightening the colors to their original tones. Really, this is just first rate work. Bravo!
BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO, JULIAN!!!!!....As a wood & metal worker I found this show VERY educational & something I can perhaps apply to my home shop work ... ( I also saw some "Waldo's" in the background, HA, Thank You Julian!!!).....TM
I agree - you certainly deserve cheers - the statue looks really great! :-)
i love watching your video. I happily learn so much about thing that i would never see otherwise.
Your segues to the sponsor are always seamless, but this one was by far that smoothest
Sinterklaas looks great again!
This was very cool, very unique….hope to see more unique restorations ❤❤❤
Wow this was really fun to watch. Loved watching the process of making the rake.
“Ambient Particulate” would be a great band name
I’m always astounded by the craftsmanship of your work. You perfectly ride the line of restoring the piece but keeping the integrity of the original piece and it’s age. Rather than not cleaning it and slathering on a new coat of paint over the whole thing, you respect what the original piece looked like. I love it!
Totally engrossed in this procedure. Exceptional work!
Hey Julian, have you heard about the recent floods in Northeast Australia? I've heard of entire art galleries, hundreds of paintings, sculptures, textile works, furniture, and other and artworks, being sent to conservators to deal with the water damage from the floods. Local artworks, local history, even travelling exhibitions on temporary display. Lots of items are simply beyond rescue, especially from Lismore Art Gallery in New South Wales.
Basswood is my favorite wood to carve.
It is light weight, but the tight fibers and straight grain, means it takes & hold very fine detail.
It is a joy to carve.
Nice job on the moving transitions between original state and final state at the end of the video. Clean and effective, and probably a challenging bit of editing to pull off.
I love to watch this channel, but I'm going to the fifth time of trying to watch this video until the end hahaha it makes me sleepy!
At 21:59, that’s not a medallion. That’s part of Arnold’s crozier. Arnold had one because he was a Benedictine abbott and because he was a bishop.
I watch another channel that restores old tin/aluminum toys which sometimes have lead paint. He completely removes the paint jobs and reconstructs it after cleaning/repairing the parts. It's very interesting that a piece like this is similar to the tin toys but the execution is drastically different because of the difference in priorities.
Rescue & Restore is the channel btw
i watch that channel
Next level, this guy. 🏆 well done 👍
I hope we get more statue and sculpture videos.
Baumgartner does it again. I didn't even realize that we had switched to the ad. So smooth
Your color matching abilities amaze me.
This is so cool to watch! I’ve been wondering how someone would restore a painted figure as this is my artistic medium. I paint 75-28 mm figures.
Another wonderful restoration Julian. The medallion is called a crozier in the UK and it is the symbol of office for a bishop. 😊
When I first saw this video in my recommended, I thought "Oh, it's not a painting, I don't want to watch that." It showed up a few times after that and I finally broke down and just clicked on it, thinking "Why not? I'll give it a chance and just see what it is." I think I actually like watching a 3D piece more than the paintings. Paintings are almost always the same thing, but this is refreshingly different. I loved watching him recreate the rake. Thanks for doing something new, Julian!
It looks absolutely fantastic. Well done!!
An excellent restoration! It was fascinating watching you make the gold paint with mica powders. Great job!
So glad the pick scrapping sounds aren't on the intro anymore. It was giving me dental PTSD flashbacks lol
