Terese Nielsen Star Wars Artist Gold Leaf Demo

[fniniel]

hi,instead of using a goldsize...can i used a paper paste or a glue instead or either a rugby as a alternative adhesive for this. May it works? after applying goldleaf can i put a laquer glo on the top as a topcoat finishing touch..help me know plz. A million thnkz

[SaucySnip]

@fniniel The adhesive needs to be something that remain tacky. I've read the monks that used to create illuminated manuscripts made a liquid out of honey & water & something else. They would paint it where they wanted the gold to be applied and then breathe their warm hot breath on the honey adhesive, & quickly stick the gold leaf to it. You can use spray adhesive, but obviously that doesn't work well for detailed areas. I couldn't say about "paper paste" or "rugby". Buy the leaf and experiment.

[fniniel]

should i dry first the adhesive before putting a goldleaf...? ipls. i want to know.. thanks.

[SaucySnip]

@fniniel Yes, I dry it for about 30 seconds with a hair dryer. When it's tacky to the touch, and not milky colored, it's ready for the gold leaf to be applied.

Hi SaucySnip,

You look and sound very good on your videos. You explain it perfectly. Thank you.

In the UK we call this milky adhesive "Gold Size". But it is the same thing I think. I have to admit to not researching this but would assume it is the same.

Nice video and very clear instructions!

Take care,

[sharvajitbaskaran]

hi Terese ... love u..ur work is awesome.. i just wanted to know whether this gold foil changes its color as it pasted on the glue

[cityzenkane108]

Woderful, thanks for the tip, gold leaf rocks, gorgeous picture by the way....

[cassey05]

how long does it take wait for the glue to get dry and tacky?

[AspiringAspy]

Hi Terese!

Thanks for this informative Demo. Im looking to silver leaf a piece of furniture I have and I wondered what you'd use as a sealant? Do you use sealants in your art such as this piece?

Love your work! Im also a huge fan of both artists mentioned.

Bravo!

[FlammezInk]

awesome! 

[lacacti]

question please: can you leaf onto canvas and get a smooth finish? the canvas tooth is only lightly protruding. please let me know. thanks!

[drunkjunk1]

thank you very much. You've been a great help. I tried with different glues and bole's and gesso but it wouldn't work the way I wanted. Your video is one of the most instructive video's I 've ever seen.

[Jotarded]

woh, it was realy cool watching the excess gold leaf being brushed away, beautiful work

[JustGoku]

[harpsi8]

[smokeynewton]

Why do I get the feeling you're a fan of Alphonse Mucha? Nice work, by the way.

[SandraLondon63]

Extremely helpful Terese.

Could you please give me a tip on what type of glaze I should use to stop the gold leaf from tarnishing? (I will be using this on acrylic paintings on wood)_

Thanks in advance.

[b1llyb0y]

You can use shellac, or polyurethane clears without problems.

[boricuapintor]

very helpful Terese...now I can gold leaf my painting

thank you.

loved your voice by the way :-)

[TheSunSunich]

Thanks. :) Don't think I'll ever use this technique and I did saw a tutorial on gold leaf, it's still fun.

[LizzzieDeee]
