Guilding or gold leafing might be the highest form of the sign painters art.This picture shows the size. Basically it's a varnish that I tinted with a little black paint. The size needs to be tinted so that you can see where you applied it. Also the tinting will help you see any 'holidays' or places where the leaf did not adhere.
This is a picture after the gold leaf is applied and the excess has been removed.Yes it's real gold.
The finished product outlined in black.
