Awesome thank you! :) Can't wait to try a simpler design myself

Wow! It looks wonderful to me! This art is fascinating to me. I'm not convinced I could get my left and right brain to work in harmony for the reverse painting though. Maybe I will give it a try on a small piece. In the meantime, I will stick with 1:12 scratch building and misc. other craft projects. Thank you very much! I subscribed! Lisa

Awesome 🙌👊

GREAT

Nice work... Quite a learning curve painting in reverse, either through a mask or freehand. The missing parts in a leaf surface are called 'Holidays' in the trade. Keep up the brushwork my friend,

Nice work! It's been awhile since I've been able to watch. But now I have to the chance to binge! Thanks for the honesty in the beginning. Without it we're lost! Nice one! Be well.

That's what I love to hear Chris! Thanks pal

Gorgeous ! Thank u

A really cheap and easy way of getting an tech look is simply add sei matt clear varnish to areas before gilding! We used to do it on pub signs where time and cost need to be low. It looks effective👍

Hi mate, I don't off the top of my head. I made a few adjustments myself to the design on my design software for the stencil. I'll try to find out if I remember when I'm at the computer

I used to do a reasonable amount of glass etching with hydrofluoric acid paste. You had to keep it warn or it would crystallise and not go through a W77 spray gun back in the day. I'm amazed I'm still alive hahahaha shit is so dangerous !!

Hello Do you make the masking outlines by hand or with a vinal cutter? As it seems incredibly intricate

This mask for this sign was cut using a plotter. Was tempted to write is standard reverse but had some tiny panel lines I needed to get right on the outside so just figured I'd use a mask for what areas I could

Write plz.....The Puku Garden

good stuff, but can you explain at what stage and how is the burnishing done. cheers

Hi Danny, for the burnishing, I would do that once the gold is dry to remove any flakes or parts not properly stuck. Then regild as needed.

thanks for the reply. So let dry overnight and burnish..... and I am only using the cheap version - metal gold leaf@@theletterhead

Nice sign! What is that white cut out paper called, that has the letters cut out?

Hey Morten, That is actually a vinyl mask, I didn't feel like trying to hand gild the tiny panel line, it would never have looked as clean. But it felt kinda silly not using the mask for the letters too, it meant working in a reverse order. But looks super sharp.

@@theletterheadIt looks great! And check; Vinyl masking. I'll bet it's just another product you can't find in Denmark hehe but I'll try. I gotta try making a letter sign. Thanks and stay creative!

Great job with this one. I primed a piece of junk chipboard and practiced with some ronan, had a bit of trouble getting smooth strokes. Some people suggest sanding the surface and doing a couple primer coats, any tips?

Thanks jacob, Sometimes the best thing to do is grab the smoothest stuff you can find. Priming and painting definitely help but start with smooth stuff and prime from there. I've worked on wood thats below par and it's just a pain to fix and work on
