Oil Painting Cleaning Example A:
Damage to a work of art may be more serious. A tear in the canvas, a puncture or flaking and loss of paint can be remedied by an expert. If the support (the canvas) of a painting is weak it can be reinforced with re-lining. Tears can be repaired and areas, where paint has flaked of, can be meticulously repainted.

Oil Painting Cleaning Example B:
Restoring a work of art means putting it back into its original condition. Restoration can turn a dull and unimpressive picture into a sparkling and powerful addition to your home.
