Gilding For Works Of Art. A Study For Fine Artists
One Day In Person Class
The GildedPlanet.com is excited to partner with the Charles Douglas Gilding Studio to provide you with the highest quality, hands on training for the gilding arts.
Gilding For Works Of Art... a Study for Fine Artists
Students explore the various methods of working with gold and silver leaf on canvas and paper for both background and embellishment.
Learn to lay a genuine 23k gold leaf ground for painting as well as brass and silver colored aluminum leaf. Discover the use of MSA Varnish and GAC 200/500 as an isolating coat to protect tarnishable metals while successfully painting over the gilding with your choice of oil or acrylic mediums.
Instructor Charles Douglas will patiently take you through the intricacies of working with delicate gold leaf and how to tame it with the proper use of the gilder's tip, pad, and knife. Explore such ancient mordants as gum ammoniac, and glair, and contemporary oil size and acrylic emulsion.
NOTE: All Levels Welcome! Feel free to bring a work of art though not required. Optional gilding kits are available through Gilded Planet. Gilding Kits are not Required for the class since the use of studio tools is provided. Students will need to purchase One Booklet of 23k Gold Leaf for the Class. (An Online Link will be provided with a student discount Upon Registration).
*Materials: Students will just need to bring 1 Booklet 23k Gold Leaf (Loose Leaf) to class. Substitutions are fine but must be Loose Leaf. A Promo Code and Website Link for GildedPlanet will be provided upon Registration. (May also be Purchased at Sepp Leaf on day of class).
