Each individual painting requires a unique approach when it comes to conservation. No two canvases are the same, and thus no two methods of conservation can be exactly the same either. We were reminded of this recently while carefully conserving a postimpressionist landscape, whose paint application differs drastically from the marines and portraits we have been attending to in our studio. Here is a detail, showing the characteristic short brush strokes of the artist, preserved (we hope) for centuries to come! #Art #Conservation #FineArt #Painting #Cleaning #Impressionist #postimpressionist #modernart #contemporaryart #london #chiswick #brushstroke #brushstrokes #painting #studio #artconservation #heritage #paintingstudio #colour #pigment #paint #instaart #artofinstagram
A very atmospheric view of the St Lawrence River in Canada by the elusive Lady Georgiana Eyre. Executed in a confident manner, this shimmering watercolour is signed and dated G.L.B.E /1858. #Canada #LadyGeorgianaEyre #Watercolour #paper #drawing #art #artofinstagram #landscape #nature #nineteenthcentury #canadianart #stlawrenceriver #artofinstagram #pencil #painting #london #chiswick #artforsale

A tired and unsympathetic frame can make even the most engaging artworks feel lost. We wanted to share this particularly fine Viennese Successionist style frame, made here in our studios, which has given this modern Brit pic its dignity back. #framing #modbrit #britishart #frames #london #chiswick #landscape #artofinstagram #instaart #modernart #contemporaryart #interiordesign #painting #watercolour #drawing #fineart
