Gilding course: Introduction to gilding

Introductory video to the gilding course, which gives basic knowledge on water gilding and size gilding.
We advise you to study the full gilding course composed of 11 videos.

This video not only makes it easier but complicates the whole process without explaining what each material is and what it is used for .

where can the gold leafing supplied be bought?

[@we4r119]

Do you give quantities for how much glue, water and clay to use please? Can you use a pva glue for size, like Modge Podge for imitation leaves?

Excellent introductory video. I shall watch the others with interest. Do you have any videos on repairing gilded plaster/gesso frames? There are some on KZbin but very mixed. This is so thorough and professional, thank you. And the voice is wonderful. Only guessed it was Italian and not English by the way she pronounced gesso.

PIs mam,

In the video you talk about applying water-based size for indoors and alcohol based size for indoors. Then you suddenly show a picture of oil-based size, but you have not explained why one needs an oil based size, how one mixes it up (amounts) and when this is applied. Would this be for indoors or outdoors and would it be applied before the water or alcohol based size? I would really like to know. And finally, can one varnish the indoor or outdoor gilding? And can this be done with a varnish that is water-repellant so the item can be cleaned with a damp cloth without the gilding turning dull?

How is gelatin glue used in water?

[@davidmercieca3663]

Does the bole have expiery date?

[@thegildersstudiocheltenham33]

Both water and size gilding can be done using both genuine and imitation leaf. On the opening vocals you also mistakenly say that there is no other process between the gesso and application of size.

Looks extremely hard, complicated and expensive!

Your results aren't nice enough for you to be being rude to professional tradesmen in the comments. Your results are mediocre at best. Actually mediocre was me being nice. Your work is just outright awful. I see why the camera man didn't zoom in.
