Cleaning Oil Paintings.

An art journal suggests raw potatoes

tato1s at hand, each cut in halves. Inc
fresh surface Is dampened slightly with
cold water and used to rub the canvas.
AS the potatoes show soil the surface
Is sliced off and the rubbing continued.
This process will create little lather'
which should be wiped off as fast as 1T
accumulates with clean, damp sponge.
When the whole canvas is cleaned, 1t
should be washed over lightly with
clean water from which the chill has
been taken and finally the water
carefully wiped off with an old clean
silk handkerchief. Raw potatoes to
clean paintings are frequently in hear

tu see that something had happened.
