Re: Price of Gold Leaf
Second that what John said. I also use Wrights and Handover gold due to the clean gild it leaves . Best gold I have found for glass work.

I put a colour blend into this panel, kind of finishes this off with some vibrance.

Re: Burberry Film
Hi Lorenzo.
The matt finish was hand painted in a clear varnish and then when dry I used wirewool to scratch up the surface to bring it back to almost a frosted look, once this was cleaned I water gilded over the entire letters with 23crt gold.
Hope that helps. Thanks Lorenzo

I agree Pat great technique! The company are in Leeds, established 1870 and still have all the original moulds. The film guys said it was like going back in time seeing all the different carvings of flowers birds etc. Very cool indeed... hope your doing ok mate.

Dan and Lee. I have only done it on small panels. It works great! My vision for large panels would work nice I think. My approach was all gold and silver (12)crt but you could also have a lined illustration before hand. Imagine one block of 23crt matt gold with areas left to add 12crt. Now with your...
