Satisfying Hand Painted Gold Leaf Art on Glass
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2020
- Watch as I use gold leaf and paint on glaaaaass. Oh this is so smooth and satisfying and it’s my FIRST attempt at reverse gilding on glass at this size and detail. So anyone out there who has knowledge in this area, feel free to leave feedback (or praise if you feel so inclined, of course). I’d love for these comments to be used as a learning space for those looking for more knowledge on this amazing technique.
Thanks so much for watching

Adds gold leaf to my long list of quarantine purchases*
Beautiful.
It's the best technique for that really mirror like reflection.
Very nice.
Perfect! Absolutely perfect! I especially like how you showed the effect that burnishing the gold leaf has. All the other vids I've seen of this technique leave that part to the imagination. Great work!
Thank you so much!
@@JennFrost what are you using as a back up black. I tried using one shot paint but it just chipped off during leaf removal. My problem maybe my use of imitation leaf though.
I thought the same thing once I finally got my hands on the process- it’s magical and a pivotal part ✨
@@JennFrost hi what is the yellow gold paint you paint over all the reverse gold leaf?, thanks
@@blakewilcox313using one shot straight out of the can works. When you remove the excess gold use a little Bon Ami soap on your wet cotton and the leaf comes off easier. Be careful not to drown the job as it will get under your paint and lift it off the glass. Wrong that wet cotton out real good before you use the bon Ami powder.
Great video
Great job very useful video.
Thanks
bon travail super peinture
Merci!
I learn't this process 70 years ago. I'm very impressed with your outlining on glass which is a very challenging process. You need total concentration and you make it look very easy. I'm not sure you can handle loose leaf gold leaf with your fingers ?
Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear from a seasoned sign painter! It's not real gold leaf, just imitation. I didn't realize you don't use imitation gold for water gilding when I made this, so always learning! Thanks for watching!
What did you use to burnish the excess gold ? Been having trouble getting mine to rub off. Is it possible the bloom strength is the problem ? (180 bloom ) thank you in advance
I have shaky hands. I need to stop or cut down on drinking coffee so I can do work like this. 😆🍻✌🏽
Hi, First of all, praise! Such a lovely video and very useful. I'm about to start my first attempt and was wondering what yellow paint you used? Just normal acrylic? And just out of curiosity, do you know if you could use transfer gold for this sort of gilding?
It's 1Shot Imitation Gold enamel paint. And as far as transfer gold, this was imitation gold leaf, but genuine gold leaf works best and will give you the mirror finish we all want. Thanks so much for watching!
Great video! How did you remove the excess gold leaf to create the clean lines? Was it only with a cotton ball or with a more precise tool?
Thanks so much! Yep, a cotton ball and water. And for tighter areas I use a bit of cut up stockings and water.
Great result, but may i give you a good advice? Gild the letters only (plus what we can't avoid). And cut out the gold. A scissor and the in between sheets should not damage the gold. As you segment the gold, it will stick better and more clean. You will avoid almost ALL scratches, which in the end gives a much better result. IT LOOKS GREAT, and it's only an advice. Plus you actually save a lot of gold cutting the gold "to shape". Other than that, it looks great. Best of wishes, love and care from a fellow artist!
Thank you so much for the feedback :) This was actually my first attempt at water gilding and I've learned a LOT since then. I will keep cutting the gold into more manageable pieces in mind for my next gilding project! Thanks for watching!
@@JennFrost What is your water to gelatine mixture?
@@JennFrost Thanks for sharing this amazing video ! I would love to learn more about gilding and you help a lot
Amazing, what brush do you use for the initial outline, I can see it is an A.S handover brush, thanks
Thanks! I use the 2112 #2 from AS Handover for the outline
So I read in the info bix that you used imitstion gold leaf. So the same finish can be achieved with the gold foil looking things or it has to be real gold leafs?
is the black enamel, just any enamel paint or anything specific??
awesome video! what was the liquid you applied to the glass to make the gold stick?
It was a mixture of water and most likely 2 gelatin capsules heated up so the capsules melt into a solution that dries adhering the metal to the glass.
It's called Water Size in this state.
What was the clear liquid you used to make the gold leaf stick? Nice work!😊
Thanks so much! It's water size made with gilder's gelatin.
This video was so *yummy*
Agreed
Great work, how do you make the stencil? is it a printout?
I drew the lettering design in Procreate and printed it out. Thanks for watching!
Excellent work
Please mention the names of material paints in video I would loves to try it 😊
hi what is the yellow gold paint you paint over all the reverse gold leaf?, thanks
Lock’s nice. Peaceful video. But i have a guastion. What’s is the paint you use?
Hi! It is 1Shot black enamel. Thanks for watching!
@@JennFrost is the yellow one shot too?
Was that just water you were applying at 3:09? Or some sort of glue?
It's a mix of water and gelatin size. Thanks for watching!
Hi! It works with fake gold leaf as well?
I mean, it works, but it doesn't come out to the smooth mirror finish like real gold leaf does. Thanks for watching!
You never showed a second guild. Im sure you needed one to cover all the holidays left after your first one.
Plz write.....The Puku Garden..
why does the gold leaf start to peel off when I try burnishing it?! Am I using too much pressure?
It could be that you're applying too much pressure or that you didn't use enough gelatin when you made the water size. I'd try adding a bit more and test. Good luck!
@@JennFrost thanks... I'm using around two diamonds per pint of water.
What kind of colours are you using on glass?
I use 1Shot black and imitation gold enamel paint
What kind of paint and glue to gold leaf you using?
All supplies are listed in the description. Thanks for watching!
Ok what type of gold leaf did use?
This was just imitation gold leaf
Do you sell this as a png?
i remember when my hands were that steady....
Ooph if you saw my hand in real time, you'd see how unsteady it actually is. Thanks for watching!
@@JennFrost thank goodness for mahl sticks!
Nice work!! But it would really help if u dont edit the process/ progress. We want to see the mistakes as well to be able to learn peoperly like urself.
This really makes businesses look like the way they did back a hundred years ago, unique .special .real mom Pop shops
I appreciate the comments! It is really a timeless technique. Thanks for watching!
