When a canvas is torn, it is crucial to adopt a delicate and precise approach for its repair.
The first step is to stabilise the tear to prevent it from enlarging and the surrounding paint flakes from detaching. Then, the conservator uses a technique called “tear mending” to carefully repair the canvas.
Once the area is stabilised, work on the paint layer to harmonise the colour and texture of the material with the rest of the artwork can begin. This step is essential to ensure a repair that is both effective and aesthetic, while preserving the value and integrity of your painting.
