Happy Friday, y'all!
Gather around the proverbial fire as I drop a little art hack for the weekend.
I'm using gold leaf imitation (not real gold, boo!).
A few tips: be sure to shake up your adhesive sizing before using and gold leaf in a well ventilated area. Gold leafing takes some practice and can get a little messy but what fun thing ISN'T?
Materials:
Canvas (my canvas is primed with a napthol red acrylic paint - many gold leafers will use a warm tone underneath to bring out the gold more)
Soft brushes
Gold leaf sheets
Bone Tool
