Carrying out certain restoration work yourself, helping you to assess the condition of a painting when buying it or talking to a restorer, here is what this practical book offers you, with ease. He will also teach you to refine your gaze, your sense of observation, and after having discussed the different constituents of a painting, such as pigments and canvases, the restoration file will allow you to move on to practice. Detailed technical sheets, veritable workshop recipes, will then explain to you, step by step, the processes for carrying out first-level restorations with complete confidence. Fixing a dent, repairing a tear, or cleaning a painting... will have no more secrets for you. Finally, to complete, a description of the more complex processes - relining, transposition, cardboard, refixing - will offer you a better approach to professional restoration.
