Sister what's alternative of burnisher we can use instead?

What can be used instead of the egg white

What kind of paper are you using? And is there a substitute for burnisher tool? And do you have to tint the paper or egg the paper?

Thank you! Is there a vegan substitute for the egg?

Subscribed!

I found burnishing makes my paper have the opposite effect of bleeding. Bleeding soaks a lot of ink but after burnishing egg white + alum coating paper I find that ink refuses to stick on the paper and the paper acts as hydrophobic surface. Any remedy for this?

Hi, i can’t use water color on it. Is it only for gouache , poster or acrylic colors?

Hi! What kind of white paper did you use?

Is egg necessary??

does the acid in the tea affect how archival the final painting is? can you neutralize it with baking soda before staining the paper with it?

I haven't tried that before, but I don't feel like it affects the paper negatively. You could experiment though!

My professor sayd that the paper need to stay 6 month before we do these last step. Reason... The paper must to relax or something like this.

Doesn't the egg white cause the gold to stick to the whole paper? Or do you use a resist?

It really depends on the room temperature, but it does not take too long. An hour or two. Touch it and you will know if it's dry or not. Yes I use it right after it's dry

I heard of the corn starch process and I heard it's even better than the eggs, but I don't know it well. I apply one even layer

You should ideally apply two layers of egg white

What is the purpose of the black tea? And why not just use a commercially sized, smooth hot press paper? Is it just about preserving tradition or are there genuine benefits of this approach over anything commercially available?

Even if it s the tradition thé reason why they apply this tea is to give it this color. Overtime your White paper normally Will turn yellow so the Will stabelise it to this tint.that what i heard .

@@mazaito8111 Interesting. Yellowing of paper isn't a problem if acid-free archival paper is used. If the paper is archival, then the use of the tea to simply colour the paper would make sense. I'm just wondering whether the tea serves any other functional process?

Do you use cold or hot press paper??

I personally like to do it because I paint with white and I think it looks good, but some illuminators don't do this step, so it's really up to you
