Watched before I sat down to apply my first shell gold. In my case to etched glass, but now I know the process and why I should use pure water and glasses for burnishing! Excellent.

This is awesome!!!! Thanks! Question: I have some shell gold I was told I need to put gelatin, but I’m vegan… would gum Arabic make a good substitute?
@JeeaMirza
@JeeaMirza 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, absolutely - essentially the gelatine or gum arabic act as the binder which adheres the fine gold particles to the paper. Caution is needed though as you only need the smallest amount of gum arabic - too much and your gold will not shine. If that happens you can wash the gold out to remove the excess gum

What a very clear and helpful video. Thank you so much for posting it. I usually water gild onto gesso panels so this technique of using shell gold on watercolour paper is very interesting to me. Particularly helpful is the technique of burnishing the paper which is a really new one to me. The second really interesting tip is the burnishing of the gold through glassine paper.

Hi - not sure about prices, I bought quite a lot a few years back from Jacksons Art Supplies in the UK and so not bought again. If you are struggling, suggest you burnish through a piece of fine tissue paper. I have used that before and get equally good results.

Great short tutorial using shell gold. I have had a pellet of shell gold for years, never got around to using it.You have prompted me to find it in my tons of art supplies. My job till retiring was as a journeyman sign painter in Chicago, USA. Much of my work was gold leaf work, first and second surface. The first surface work was all mordant [ oil size ] , a very enjoyable way to make a living. Thanks again for such a precise, and clear tutorial.

I am looking for a way to apply 23.75 kt shell powder to raised surfaces made of painted on acrylic gel on paper. The gel dries clear as glass, and I'm sure could be made receptive, and I'm a bit stumped for this art project. Any medium for the gold must stick to acrylic, and allow for burnishing once dry. Any ideas from you tech mavens?

Hi, will the shell gold work on vellum , and would the metal tool tool that I have for working on the vellum that's the same shape as your burnisher work to save buying another tool. I must try this type of gilding on my cards. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thankyou, I have been looking for information on applying shell gold for some time now and particular the burnishing process - You have covered everything I needed here excellently. Do you have any experience of Handover shell gold from Jacksons? or can you recommend a brand in the UK? I am looking for only a small amount for piece I'm planning. I have used synthetic Kremer Irodin 320 gold watercolour paint which is ok, but I'm looking for a more polished look in this piece.
@JeeaMirza
@JeeaMirza 5 жыл бұрын
Hi Peter - firstly thanks for the feedback.I'm afraid I haven't used the shell gold from Handover so couldn't comment. But if it is anything like the pre-made stuff from Cornellisens it may have too much gum arabic in it - if you find it doesn't attain a good degree of shine, give the gold a wash (I talk about this more on my website in the original blog post that accompanied this tutorial)

Hi Sajida, Afraid I don't know the exact composition as this was made by someone else. I can tell you the gold powder probably was bought from a shop called Cornellisen's in London. (there are links to the shop on my website) and if you take a look at their gold powders you can choose a colour that you like for yourself. :-)

Again a really helpful tutorial. Do you mind if I ask 2 questions? - If adding gold to a watercolour painting, would you paint first then add the gold? - I think you said the burnishing tool was agate. Can any other crystal or gem be used? Many thanks, Maggie.
@JeeaMirza
@JeeaMirza 4 жыл бұрын
Hi Sorry for the slow reply.... I typically gild first then paint (because that's hww it was done traditionally) this is particularly important if you are using gold leaf. (Because it will adhere to everything including your dry paint) If using shell gold (as in this video) you have a bit more flexibility as you have a lot of control over where the gold is applied. So really it is up to you :-) point 2: The tool i was using was an agate burnisher, but it is possible to use other hard / smooth gems or even the bottom of a round glass to burnish. Cowrie shells are also really good for burnishing as they have a smooth round edge and fit nicely in the hand (and very cheap to get hold of) hope this helps!

Hi I made my gold powder but I’m having difficulty getting info on how much gum Arabic to water and gold powder to make my paint burnishable Ie i washed my gold four times so no gum Arabic is in the powder
@JeeaMirza
@JeeaMirza 6 жыл бұрын
Heather Kulak Hi Heather- how much gold powder did you use? We actually want to leave some gum Arabic in the gold (not wash it all out) as that is what binds / adheres the gold to the paper. Depending on how much gold you have I would add several drops of gum Arabic solution and paint a small swatch. Let the gold dry and once fully dry, rub it to see if any comes away on your finger. If it does come away add another drop or two and test again. If it doesn’t come off try and burnish and see how well it shines... if results are dull you added too much gum... hope that helps.
