You can repair a soft dent on an oil canvas painting by soaking a rag in hot water and then placing it on the area at the back of the canvas. Leave it for a while and the dent will disappear as the canvas dries up. Alernatively, use some steam on the area.
I highly recommend Lynn Kershner, a oil painting restorer. She repaired on old portrait of my grandfather that had holes and chipped paint. When I saw the painting returned to its original state it brought tears to my eyes.

How does a painting give the impression of power?
I think that a painting gives a impression of power because it cost's alot of money to get your painting done and how your posture is and they way you look can tell people is your powerful or not.For example Queen Anne's painting look gentle and soft and not powerful but Queen Elizabeth 1st painting look powerful. Sometimes its also about what they wear in the painting because for like Queen Elizabeth in her paintings she wears alot of jewellery (real gold) that also make her look powerful :)
How do you protect acrylic paintings?
Handle an oil painting by the frame, never touch the painting itself. Don't let anything press against the front or back of the canvas, this can create a dent or hole. Never try to repair damage yourself. An amateur repair job, given time, will show. For temporary storage or transporting, place cardboard or plywood on both front and back (slightly larger than the outside dimensions of the framed oil painting) and then wrap in 'bubble wrap' and tape or tie securely. Permanent storage should be in a custom-sized plywood crate with the painting braced to allow air flow on all sides without shifting. Never expose an oil painting to extremes of heat, cold, or humidity, whether hanging on your wall or in storage. Basements and attics are bad places to store paintings. Occasional dusting with a clean, soft-bristled brush is recommended. A very old or dirty oil painting should be taken to a professional restorer.
How can you remove candle wax from an oil painting?
If the oil painting has dried completely or is varnished (has a sheen to it), and the crayon mark isn't too large, wiping it with a soft warm damp cloth that has a drop or two of Murphy's oil soap on it could get it off. Crayon is wax and once an oil painting/varnish has dried, it is a pretty tough surface, so you might also try blotting the crayon with a soft cloth that has been soaked in really hot water, and then scraping the softened crayon off with your fingernail.
What is the best way to repair a dent in my vehicles door without needing to have paint work done?
To repair a dent in your vehicle door without damaging your paint or needing paint work done afterwards there are two options that may work. Depending on the size of the dent present you may be able to use a suction cup type dent puller which utilizes a sticky hardening glue like substance to attach a suction cup like device on the dent and then uses pressure to attempt to pop out the dent. This process results in no damage to the paint or drilling into the dent necessary. If the dent is larger you may consider removing the door panel and while setting the door panel on soft padding using a rubber mallet to gently bang out the dent from the other side which could also repair the dent without paint damage.
