My imitation gold leaf arrived! First I tested it out on this Kestrel drawing, then went ahead and added it to my triptych. It’s much easier to work with than I expected! (Usually it’s the other way around ). You just paint on some special glue, let it dry to a tacky, slightly sticky sheen, and press on the leaf. It’s a delicate process, but it’s easy to fix mistakes. I am very pleasantly surprised . The triptych is so close to being finished; just a few more touches of leaf and a coat of sealer (to keep the metal from tarnishing) left to go! #art #artist #drawing #gold #goldleaf #bird #birding #birdsofprey #kestrel #eagle #hawk -- source link
