Watercolors are carefully tested before they are restored to allow for safe methods of cleaning and repair. Each treatment is bespoke to the needs of the painting. In many cases, yellowing paper or stains can be lifted successfully to reveal the original vibrancy of the artwork. Whether your watercolor is antique or a modern work, we can treat various issues that may be affecting your enjoyment of the piece.
If you have concerns about watercolor paint fading, our framing team can offer UV protective glass to reduce the impact.
Drawings can important for their high value or sentimental importance. We can restore visual disturbances, stains and acid damage from old frames. We can also step in to assist following water damage or issues resulting from a fire. Like watercolors, we also recommend UV protection for drawings in an ink or pastel medium.

You don’t really own old family paintings, you are merely a custodian, so having them restored can be a nerve-racking experience. That is why I went with an expert team I could trust to restore a painting that is very dear to my heart. The restoration is superb and my family will continue to enjoy the results for generations to come.
