Rosalind Whitehouse. Painting Conservator. Documentation page

Conservation and restoration of European oil paintings from 1500 to the present day, offering in addition a specialist knowledge and experience of the work of many twentieth century painters.

Documentation, photographs of work in progress and Treatment Reports.

Every time a painting receives conservation treatment, records are made, to be kept with the painting so that future conservators will not only know how best to plan any new treatment, but also that they may assess as time goes by the performance of materials used.

Labels are preserved, and records are kept of inscriptions and of other details which may be temporarily or permanently covered. Photographs are taken of work in progress to illustrate the Treatment Report, which describes the procedures and materials used in the conservation/restoration treatment. The extent of the photographic record will be dictated by the importance of the painting and/or the complexity of the treatments carried out.
