Egg Tempera was made and applied today for the 12 week Online Water Gilded Panels Class…from Pastiglia to Sgraffito. Any guesses on the color chosen for the egg tempera? Next week we etch the design while revealing some of the gold on the raised gesso in the corners. We’ll then add some Punchwork in our last session!

Today’s online Water Gilding Refresher Class focused on the technique of red bole over yellow. Clay bole works together with the underlying gesso to produce a bright, smooth burnish of the gold leaf while imparting a sympathetic color under the particular kt of gold leaf used, informing the overall tone. Next week we’ll apply some of the 23k gold! #zoomgildingclasses #traditionalwatergilding #watergilding #gesso #claybole #selhamin #selhaminclay #dorure #dorado #förgyllning (at Whidbey Island, Washington State) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjUBffFpIj_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

From today’s Final session of the Summer Series: Gilding for Works of Art… Today we applied Garlic Juice and Gum Ammoniac to Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper and activated it by breathing on it through a Bamboo Straw since both mordants are very hygroscopic. A great class! A nice q and a discussion on protective coatings, Isolation Barriers, what we need when working in oils and acrylics on canvas and panels with gold and silver leaf. For those interested in the recordings they’ll be available as Archives for six months. For the next Live on Zoom Version there’s the Fall Class Nov. 4 - 25, 2022.
