Another gold leaf experiment. I first started with a charcoal sketch and then I sprayed it down with fixative and added gold leaf. My experience with gold leaf is that it is very difficult to apply, so I stick with geometric shapes. Then I saw this Greg Ruth post on Muddy Colors recently where he mentioned a technique of applying powdered gold leaf and cumin. I thought I'd try it out with this piece. I also tried one additional picture where the light reflection was more dynamic. I was not planning on doing this when the weekend started, but I'm happy with the result.
