 Painting Restoration by picture restorer Alan Brown

Welcome to The Original Artwork Store, your ultimate destination for oil painting restoration. If you’re looking to breathe new life into your cherished artworks, you’ve come to the right place. We specialize in reviving the beauty and integrity of original paintings, thanks to the expertise and dedication of our highly sought-after picture restorer, Alan Brown. With a wealth of experience and an unwavering passion for preserving art, Alan excels in bringing back the vibrancy and detail of original paintings, ensuring they stand the test of time.

When you entrust your cherished artworks to us for oil painting restoration, you are placing them in the capable hands of a true master of the craft. Alan Brown’s meticulous approach to oil painting restoration is both an art and a science. His process begins with a thorough assessment of each painting to understand its unique challenges and requirements. This initial evaluation is crucial as it informs the restoration strategy, ensuring that every step taken is tailored to the specific needs of the artwork.

One of the most common issues with aged paintings is the accumulation of dirt, smoke, and grime. These elements can obscure the original colours and details of the artwork, making it appear dull and lifeless. Alan’s first task in the oil painting restoration process is to carefully clean the surface of the painting. Using specialized solvents and tools, he gently removes these layers of grime without damaging the underlying paint. This process requires a steady hand, and an intimate knowledge of the materials and techniques used by the original artist. The result is often a revelation, as hidden details and vibrant colours are brought back to life.

In addition to cleaning, Alan addresses any structural issues that may be affecting the painting. Over time, canvases can sag, become punctured, or suffer from tears and holes. These physical damages not only mar the appearance of the artwork but can also lead to further deterioration if left unaddressed. Alan employs a variety of techniques to repair and stabilize the support structure. This might involve re-lining the canvas, patching holes, or securing loose paint layers. Each repair is carried out with the utmost care to ensure the longevity and stability of the painting.

Another critical aspect of oil painting restoration is addressing paint losses. Paint can chip, fade, or crack over time, creating unsightly gaps in the artwork. Alan uses techniques such as inpainting and retouching to seamlessly integrate new paint with the original. This requires a keen eye for colour and texture, as well as a deep respect for the artist’s original vision. Alan’s goal is to make these repairs invisible to the casual observer, preserving the authenticity and integrity of the artwork.

Throughout the oil painting restoration process, Alan is guided by a commitment to ethical practices. He understands that each painting is a unique historical artifact, and he approaches his work with a deep sense of responsibility. Preserving the original intent of the artist is paramount, and all interventions are designed to be reversible, ensuring that future conservators can revisit the work if necessary.

But Alan’s expertise extends beyond the technical aspects of oil painting restoration. He also brings a personal touch to his work, taking the time to understand the significance of each piece to its owner. Whether it’s a family heirloom, a valuable collector’s item, or a beloved piece of personal history, Alan treats every painting with the same level of care and respect. His friendly and approachable manner puts clients at ease, and he is always available to discuss the progress of the restoration and answer any questions.

At The Original Artwork Store, we believe that art is more than just decoration; it’s a connection to our past, a reflection of our culture, and a source of inspiration and joy.

  • Alan did an excellent job of restoring a family heirloom oil painting. We were very pleased with the result - well worth the wait for such diligent care and attention on the restoration.

    Alan's services are in demand so we had to wait until he was able to begin on our19th century oil painting. The painting had a lot of overpainting so was cracked and paint was flaking off. The ornate frame was also missing large chunks. Alan removed the overpainting, stabilised the canvas and renovated the frame. We are delighted with the restoration work and would highly recommend his services.

    I needed an oil painting of a seascape and I successfully bid for one on line. When I received the painting I was disappointed with its condition so I took it to Alan Brown for restoration and re-framing. I was delighted with the result, the colours were again vibrant and the frame he chose added a new dimension to the painting.

    I am so impressed with the way Alan has restored my painting. It had been mistreated for many years and had some bad scuff marks and water damage. Alan removed the old varnish, removed the badly done over-painting, filled and touched up where needed and re-varnished. He also sensitively restored the frame. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services.

    I have brought a 170 year old painting at Bonhams auction hoping (gambling) that it could be restored. I took the painting to Alan to have all the old varnish and over paint removed and then have it touched up and re-varnished.The result was truly exceptional, the painting has been transformed, its bright and as fresh as the day it was painted. I received good advice regards the restoration and the work required. The price I paid was very reasonable for the quality of work I received. I would strongly recommend Alan for this type of restoration work, well done

    We took two, very dirty, early 20th century oil paintings of a highland scene to Alan to be restored. After treatment, it was as though the sun had come out and we saw previously invisible details. We were extremely pleased with the result and would highly recommend the Original Artwork store to others. The service was friendly, efficient and very professional. Many thanks from Jeanette Davis

    Yesterday I collected a 19th century family portrait in oils, which Alan had cleaned and restored. He also replaced lost moulding on the frame and brought it back to its original splendour. I am delighted with the quality of Alan's work, which he completed within the time he had estimated. He also gave me some interesting background about the artist. The picture now glows as it hangs on the wall, and I am sure will be a treasured possession of the subject's great, great grandson, to whom the picture has been given.
