These tutorials are fab thank you so much . I have been wanting to try this for years ! End up doing a coloured background. I have watched so many tutorials but yours are the best yet ! Massive thank you 🙏
Oh wow, that’s so nice to hear! I haven’t posted any new videos in 2 years, trying to make the time to get back into it. You’ve given me a much needed boost 🙏

Thankyou so much this video was very helpful.
Pretty late reply…. But I appreciate your feedback 🌟
Beautifulllll !!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩Congratulations!!!!
Thank you so much 😊
Love you’re video so much!!! I’m wondering if you still have those hummingbird paintings- my grandma passed away and she always hummed and I just love those pieces you made. Afraid I wouldn’t make one as pretty myself! 😊 I would love to buy one if possible :)
hi Shannon - ah, that's a lovely thought. Sorry for my late reply. I don't have those hummingbirds anymore but I can paint you one. Email me and we can discuss louise.j.dean@btinternet.com
Does the imitation gold leaf tarnish when applying water based sealer?
What adhesive you used, please inform. I asked the wrong question earlier
Hi do u painton gold leaf? Is the acrylic paint working smooth for realistic type of painting on gold leaf? Or what type of paints you use nd brand also
hi - I paint onto the goldleaf. I normally paint my design in white acrylic and then layer ontop of that with either acrylics or oils. You can get a very realistic effect with goldleaf as the base. check out some of my other goldleaf videos where I have painted birds and flowers. My favourite brand for acrylics is Sennelier Abstract, and also Windsor and Newton. Get the best paints you can afford. Cheap acrylics don't have much body to them and can be disappointing. hope this helps!
Doesn’t it tarnish ?
How to minimize the visible lines ? And make the canvas look like a gold canvas
Wow my reply is soooo late… but I’ve recently figured out how to achieve this! Apply 2 separate layers of goldleaf, and you will have a solid gold effect 🌟 Louise
@@LouiseDeanArtistcan you do a tutorial showing ?
You did not show what kind of sealant you are using for gold leaf?
Mod podge. It’s mentioned in minute 28:34.
If you touch it at all with your hands it will tarnish. Also if there is ammonia in the paint it will make it tarnish.
Hi, I find the artificial goldleaf quite resilient to marks but yes, occasionally I’ve had areas of tarnish which is upsetting. I now use a light coating of spray varnish or even apply to coats of goldleaf. So far I haven’t had any issues with paint tarnishing it 🌟
Can you apply water based size over gold leaf ?
Love your way of teaching ! Thankyou
