Removal of extremely discoloured varnish from 18th century landscape.
The retouching of paint losses is carried out using dry pigments mixed with light fast, non-ageing synthetic resins which are easy to remove with mild solvents.
When retouching Peter has available an extensive range of over 1600 pigments used in art throughout the ages, which include classical pigments hand made by methods described in old manuscripts. He also has in his collection some original pigments made by George Field (1777?–1854).
B72 Retouching Gels, invented and patented by Peter, which are used in museums and conservation studios throughout the world enable him to imitate almost any painting technique. By mimicking the properties of the paint used originally by the artist they allow the restorer to paint wet-on-wet, painting textures and impastos, and panting glazes and imitating the texture and transparency of megilp.
