The Perils of Painting on Panel - Epilogue

The questions answered: 

Why only treat one half of the panel?

Why don’t museums do this?  Do they? 

What’s the difference between hide glue and rabbit skin glue? 

Why don’t you wear gloves, or when you wear them, why? 

Why are you so cagey with disclosing the names of materials? 

Why does a painting need to be under tension? 

How’s the Clampinator working out, any coming changes?

What do you think your father would think of all this?

The Perils of Painting on Panel - Epilogue

Thank you for sharing that wonderful story about your father, Julian!! Your dedication to your craft no doubt would make him very proud :)

Late to the party, but this technique sounds similar to what they are doing to preserve The Mary Rose in Portsmouth, England. Very interesting. One question though - I know you are concerned about distortion when flattening a painting on canvas. What about distortion of the painting on wood panel, either due to the cupping, or due to the flattening?
