Very interesting! Thank you

Thanks for the video. Why don't they have a ink cartridge that puts out that glue?

This is a very informative video.

I have a question though.

In the video you explain about adding a little pigment to the Mona Lisa Gold Size, to help with visibility, but you don't say what you used to thin the size, so that it flows so easily from your ink pen. All of the

water-based size I've seen is thick, like an acrylic gel medium. Is it okay to thin it down with distilled water, or will that affect it's tackiness, when it's drying?

Thank you for your help.

I DO NOT dilute this specific gold size. However, water would work if you needed to dilute it.

The most professional gold sixe (glue) is made by Charbonnel and is called Mixtion (oil based)

The Mona Lisa product is water based.

Thank you so much, Dr. Vitolo. I've always wanted to see a penman working with gold leaf.

I was asked why I did not complete the 'L' before making the letters 'ove'. I change up how I make letters from time to time to keep it interesting.

For this clip I used a blank sheet of Kodak Brite White Inkjet Paper and a guidesheet underneather the blank sheet.
