The
restoration process begins with only a fragment of the original poster.
|
|
The piece is mounted and the text at the bottom is blocked out as the
first layer of paint is applied to the black.
|
|
"Masks"
are painstakingly cut from acetate for each color.
|
|
|
With
the bottom mostly restored, work continues on the upper half of the
piece.
|
|
Here,
the poster has been masked for the
green background. A single section may require multiple masks for
multiple layers of paint.
|
|
After
the green base color has been applied, a separate mask is cut for
the black shadowing.
|
|
|
The
blue will be painted next.
|
|
Once
the final layers of paint have been completed, any visible scratches or
fold lines are detailed and carefully filled with colored pencil.

finished piece.
