Filling & Aesthetic restoration

Sections of painting may be damaged and/or missing. In such cases, conservators use a special putty to fill the gaps and finish the sections with paint. This work is called aesthetic restoration (retouching or inpainting) and is one of the last steps performed during maintenance on an artwork. Depending on the demands of the artwork, the aesthetic restoration may either mimic the original painting or be applied in such a way so that the restored section is highlighted. Fillers, such as acrylic putties, animal glue based fillers, wax putty, etc., are used to fill open or hollows losses (holes) in a work. Usually, watercolors and enamel paints are used during aesthetic restoration. (Photo: Restoration with wax, restoration with gesso, imitating aesthetics, aesthetics using spot color)
