Now in its 19th year, there is no other course that compares with
this special, four-day intensive course.  It is tailored for
conservators from diverse specializations who wish to improve their
mastery of inpainting and filling skills.  An extensive overview of
this complicated topic is given, as well as considerable attention
to detail critical for successful compensation.

Colleagues will work closely with one anther, sharing experiences
and observations as they have fun experimenting with a vast array of
compensation materials.  They will be guided through problem
assessment, enabling discovery of improved, appropriate treatment
solutions for various inpainting challenges.

    Inpainting criteria

    Environmental adaptation

    Light and color phenomena

    Pigments and their properties

    Preparation and fills

    Wet/dry inpainting media and toning systems (synthetic resins,
    watercolor/gouache, gums, pencils/pastels, dry pigments, dyes
    and other coloring agents)

    Inpaint modifiers (bulking, glossing, matting, polishing agents)

    Medium/pigment/diluent adjustments for differing artifact
    structures, application instrumentation, methods and tips and
    discourse upon philosophical/ethical considerations.-Selection
    of participants will be based upon: extent of professional
    experience and training

    Balance of institutional and private practice conservators

    Number of registrants from a single organization
