I love his videos but I didn't like the eye. Maybe I am wrong but I think it looks a bit off. I think for me it is just a bit too big , the angle does not fit perfectly (should be a bit angled upwards) the shape does not match completely the way I was expecting (almond shape). On the other hand a good bit of the original eye was sill left and that part was obviously correct. So maybe the original painter did not nail it perfectly or the subject painted had just an unsymmetrical face which is probably true. The shape though in my uneducated opinion is not completely how I would have expected it. Maybe he is correct though and I am wrong. That could very well be the case.

And the shape of the eye won't always look how it should depending on the angle, so I can see the reasoning why you went the direction you did. It looks freaking amazing either way, so kudos once again for another outstanding restoration \o/

this was the first video of julien's i had watched, and then in january i got in a car accident and was home bound, and my mother decided we were going to start water coloring and let me tell you, after learning the basics of an art or any kind of painting, you really realize how much julien does. watching this the first time i thought what he did was a little extra, and now? in short i really appreciate all the work he puts into each one of his restorations.

If the new eye and that side of the face, which were essentially gone, don't match the other side of the face, they don't and shouldn't match. Photography has proven that the human face differs subtly from one side to the other and if, shown by flipping one side to the other so as to match, it's quite disconcerting and not preferable to the natural differences. This restoration is proof that our imperfections are what makes us unique and ultimately human. Julien, please keep your narrated restorations coming! It's just about the best thing on YT😎

He has referred to that once or twice and has had to go back and undo adjustments he has made at times. Would like to hear more about his own experiences with over or incorrectly painting . Most of his techniques are reversible and it is up to the client to decide whether they are satisfied with the job he does. From my perspective, he seems to do his best to make minimal adjustments to the paintings as possible. Again, all based on my perspective.

Julian, each deconstruction has been almost more engaging to watch than the intricate repairs that you perform afterward, yet they are two parts of each healing. Obviously, you have lived much of your life serving countless artists who created each piece brought to your attention. The November 5, 2018 restoration of the unnamed painting with the 19th Century man missing the left half of his face shown in the video was brilliant! His left eye was in complete and humorous harmony with his right one; his auburn sideburns seemed crisp and newly trimmed. He appeared ready to slap a top hat on his head and leave for an important engagement on the Strand (or Central Park). Bravo for the gifts that you give in each meticulous healing performed on your stationary clients and to those living ones who wait to take them home again. Many cheers!

The blue of the computer screen (or laptop or iPad, tablet, phone, etc) emits something that interrupts the brain through the eyes and interferes with your sleep. If you're like me you need sound to sleep or your brain won't shut up. Try an OTR (old time radio) show, like Sherlock Holmes or Suspense or the like, and turn off the screen and listen to it with your eyes closed. You might also try turning off the screen and listening to a video. If you try it, I hope it helps! God Bless!

@@Drikkerbadevand okay. Imma getting a little tired of seeing this point. The point he made in the video was "If your not the one that hired me, I aint gonna listen to your ass." which is a really good statement. If I am a artist who created a commission piece for some one, the only person who opinion matters is the commissioner. If a random commenter decided to give a critique, he can, but it really doesn't matter what he says cause the one who allows me to eat liked it. Should I take his criticism? Maybe, but that person probably isn't a consumer so why should I care if I don't need his business?

In the final piece the eye looks fine, if you take into account the perspective of a camera and the position of the intended object to be photographed the same can be said for the painting, his seating position and the angle of his head could cause one eye to be slightly closer to the "Lens" or the artist thus giving the impression it is larger however it is just simply the way he is sat :) The end repair is outstanding and to say how much of the piece was damaged and there was no name to help with references I think it is a mighty fine job !

No one's eyes eyes are both exactly the same shape. It's a question of portraying what you see. Not what you think you should be seeing. Being able to paint those subtle, seemingly minute differences is what imparts life and liveliness to a portrait. You did a wonderful job.
