Dacia Gallery is pleased to announce a Gold Gilding Workshop with Lee Vasu in New York City. This workshop is intended as an introduction and revival of the centuries old gold gilding techniques for contemporary artists. To inspire and create stunning modern paintings with the knowledge, materials and techniques of the Byzantine and Renaissance masters.

Workshop Description: During the workshop students will learn how to achieve a mirror finish shine to their gold leafed paintings. The process is called Water Gilding, it requires a gessoed background on a wood panel on which you apply red clay bole mixed with rabbit skin glue. The clay bole dries, is sanded and polished with an agate stone burnisher. Then solution of distilled water and denatured alcohol is applied on top and the 24K Gold Leaf is placed on the wet areas, it will immediately stick to the bole. Once dried the gold leaf is burnished to a mirror like, perfect finish. Water Gilding is a unique process used by the masters that gives a beautiful finish to backgrounds or to decorative elements in paintings. You will be amazed at the possibilities of the work you can create once you learn how to properly water gild with gold. |
