More on the watergilding of this Chinese woodcarving...Overall cleanup of small stray pieces of leaf and subduing of the burnished gold with ethyl alcohol (top L); rubbing of the gold with ethyl alcohol and whiting to reveal a light amount of the underlying red bole (top R); re-burnishing specific sections to bring the brilliancy back up after the whiting/alcohol mix (lower L, lower R) ~ #charlesdouglasgildingstudio #seattleartist #nyartist #gildedplanet #gilding #goldleaf #gildingclasses #seppleafproducts #pictureframing #pictureframe #custompictureframing #nycgildingclasses #interiordesign #artclasses #gildingartsnewsletter #museumframing #fineartframing #gold #gildedframe #chineseart

A little nighttime burnishing on this watergilded Chinese carving. Tomorrow it gets a slight rub of the 23.75k leaf, a weak rsg solution on the satin areas to help protect them (in contrast, burnishing not only allows the gold to shine but also compresses the gold into the surface; satin water gilding simply is bonded by the rabbit skin glue or gelatin in the bole) and a final bit of this and that before it goes off to the client ~ #charlesdouglasgildingstudio #seattleartist #nyartist #gildedplanet #gilding #goldleaf #gildingclasses #seppleafproducts #pictureframing #pictureframe #custompictureframing #nycgildingclasses #interiordesign #artclasses #gildingartsnewsletter #museumframing #fineartframing #gold #gildedframe
