Water GILDING with genuine gold leaf for Byzantine Icons process video tutorial

е:

The store is up! . You can order printed reproductions of the finished icons in any size on paper, canvas or (recommended) aluminum plate. I’ve ordered some samples and they look gorgeous.

This video shows the process of water gilding with genuine gold leaf, using a mixture of red bole clay and rabbit skin glue as an adhesive. The technique is less wasteful (and less stressful) because it uses wax paper to apply the gold leaf, preventing it from getting too messy. The gold must be varnished to make it permanent.
