I am a proffessional gilder this is what i do everday,i have never handled gold leaf like this you make it look painful send me an email and i will teach you.
I am professional artist and recently I decided to make water gilded frames myself. Could you please advise how to apply gesso properly. For water gilding gesso must be flawless. But I can`t get rid of tiny pinholes (probably caused by air bubbles).
I am using rabbit skin glue, gesso by Borma Wasch and distilled water.
Please could you indicate where you are working from, I presume somewhere in Scotland? Thank you or maybe an email address or company name

I'm currently working in canada, but this video was made in Scotland. Is there something you want to contact me about?
