Gold Leafing with Nancy Thorn

Jennifer Winship Mark

 acrylic 

I took a great Gold Leafing Class from Nancy Thorn www.goldleafdesign.net and learned a minute smattering of the many  tricks of Water Guilding and Oil Guilding.

Here is the Italian Style frame I guilded and then created the traditional scraffito painting details using traditional egg tempera that I scratched into using a sharpened stick.

The acrylic painting is an experiment I did for our 

OPEN EYE ART

Can you find the eye in this piece?
