Learn How to Gild a Byzantine Icon with Mixtion Glue
About this course
In this course you will learn what boards to use for egg tempera, how to transfer your drawing from paper on the board and then how to gild the background of an icon in a traditional and professional way. I explain the process dtep by step in an easy and understandable way. Along you will learn to gild all the gold decorations that are placed on a colored area. I will give you some tips on how to write or paint on an area that has been gilded, and how to also create the borders that surround the gold background of a byzantine Icon. This is not water gilding, but gilding with mixtion glue, wax shellac and turpentine oil. This produces a background that is more matte than the one of the water gilding, but is more subtle and charming and has proven to be absolutely stable against time and humidity. This is a method most of the professional iconographers use today because is much quicker and easier than the water gilding method and the result is just astonishing. Everything in this lesson can be used with imitation gold for those students who wish to practice a little with something less pricey than actual golden leaves.
