Applying Gold Leaf to an Acrylic Painting

I filmed this demo about adding gold leaf to an acrylic painting in order to add some sparkle to it. I enjoyed how it lit up my painting, so ended up creating an entire online course where I taught how to paint in this abstract floral style and add gold leaf at the end. The course is called "Glimmering Gardens" and is available here: kathleenrietza...

Thanks for watching. I am happy you enjoyed it. Gold leaf is a little tricky to work with, but the result is beautiful.

[@kathleen_rietz_artist]

That's great! I hope you enjoy using gold leaf. It's really so pretty (and messy).

Ooh. What kind of brush is that? I want one of them. Nice work you do btw. I love your style.

[@kathleen_rietz_artist]

Thank you. I assume you mean the large brush? I'm not even sure what it would be called. I just happened to have it in my stash, and loved that its bristles are stiff enough to remove the excess gold leaf.
