Helen Ann Lee Shung that is so nice of you to say!!! Have you tried to paint on top of gold leaf? 🧚‍♀️

I am going to try this evening but I'm afraid Iv'e already applied it to the raw canvas. I wanted to put acrylic over some portions of it. Is that o.k ?

It would be safe to have a protective layer before apply acrylics. If you are using acrylics, check this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/icmUZq5ztdmze6c.html Her method would not wholly work for oils. There is more free information on her site about it. Good luck with your project and don’t afraid to experiment!

Thank you for your kind words 💖

@@SandraElderberry You are welcome! Good luck with your art channel - it's great!

Thank you so much! I think everything you described is possible, but you will need to use a suitable medium with acrylics. Regarding working with acrylic on top of gold leaf, I would advise looking at Nancy Reyner videos, etc. She has free videos, posts, books + Skillshare training (you can watch it for free during the trial period). Also, it never hurts to write manufacturer for advice. I had a good experience writing an email to Golden acrylics. They made a few tests in the past regarding gold leaf and their mediums, so I hope they could give you knowledgeable advice on the topic. Good luck ☀️

Forget to mention I would not dilute acrylics with turpentine but use the proper medium from Golden.

@@SandraElderberry thanks for your advise. I made some tests and tried to paint directly on top of the gold leaf with undiluted acrylic paint and as it's not very covering and the gold leaf is not mordant it was as if the paint was indeed transparent and the results were really pretty, it shines beautifully. Thank you!

Yes, you can but you need to protect it first. You will find a lot of information on Nancy Reiner website, and I remember that Golden made some blog post a long time ago about the technical aspects of it.

Thanks for commenting! I am sharing my materials on the Patreon page. link in bio ☺️

I used shellack to seal it. It is easy to google different recipes. I think I have one on my website as well

Hey, I posted it on my Patreon page. www.patreon.com/foksynes

Yes, I wrote to Gamblin they said you could use Gamvar without an issue. Just double-check with your supplier.

@@SandraElderberry thanks for your quick response.

Hi, it is impossible to paint with acrylic on top of the oil. But you can paint with oils on top of acrylic paint if the acrylic is dry. Here is also the written version, I hope it helps: sandraelderberry.com/enchanted-studio/how-to-add-gold-leaf-to-a-painting-gilding
