How to Apply Gold Leaf to Gilding

If you've ever wondered how to apply gold leaf, you're not alone. Many people have no idea where to start. Using a shop vacuum can help keep the leaf in place. Applying gold leaf requires finesse and patience. First, make sure you have a clean canvas. Next, place a piece of wood or book under the canvas to create a stable work surface. When applying the leaf, make sure you work in small sections to avoid overworking the leaf.

Choose a base colour, preferably a natural one. A natural bristle brush will allow you to apply the gold leaf in gentle strokes and have a smooth finish. My favourite brush is a squirrel's hairbrush. If you don't have a natural brush, you can always use acrylic paint. You can use any colour you like, but red or black shades complement golden nuances the best. Alternatively, you can use copper or silver leaf.

Before you apply gold leaf, you need to use a gilding primer. This primer is specially made for gilding and prevents the need for a base coat of paint. You will also need a gilding sizer. This is an adhesive that dries within a few hours. If you do not use a gilding primer, you should use a pigmented paint as your base layer. However, be aware that this method will not produce a perfectly smooth finish.
