Pastel Painting, exclusively painterly, vibrant colors, an old painting lies under warm task light on a well used easel. A conservator’s hands gently clean a small passage of the surface, revealing luminous color beneath age, varnish, and time. Close up of the old painting being restored, focus on the restoration and the hands restoring it, the cleaned and restored portion of the painting is depicted with pastels, the portion still to be restored fading into mostly charcoal, as the painting reaches towards the edges selective distant detail fades from utilizing pastels to simply charcoal, enhancing the vibrancy of the colors. Revelation. Care. Time. Preservation. Discovery.
Time has dimmed the surface, but not everything beneath it. Slowly, something once hidden begins to return to the light.
