- Gold leaf! I’ve been unsure about my love for gold leaf and how fiddly it seems BUT… to add finishing touches, I LOVE it!
#artprocess #acrylicpainting #abstractart
To give you a little background, I started painting originally for stress relief and therapy when I suddenly started having seizures 3 months before I was due to graduate from a Physiotherapy degree! My whole life turned upside down as you can imagine. But I believe ‘Everything happens for a reason’ and I couldn’t imagine my life without my art now.
In 2018 I was discovered by a Publisher, Artko Ltd, who supply framed prints of my work to shops throughout the UK. My bestselling pieces are my ‘Love Trees’.
My work is currently in various shops including John Lewis and Dunelm and links to these can be found below…

Ok..thank you
*Just a heads up with the Gold...It needs to be applied carefully. It is 'an art in itself'. I was taught by a professional many years ago and for the right results, you should only use a small amount of the sizing (glue).With a flat brush...It should be painted on in a thin layer, not a blob. Then you take your gold leaf in the size you are to cover. Never too big, lay it over the sizing and smooth on with a thin 1-inch flat brush slowly. Stroking the gold leaf till it is flat gold on the canvas. Not using fingers to do it, because as I said it is an art all by itself. It should never be used in the way you have, and each flower head needs to be done 1 at a time. Nothing should be rushed. If you love art, you will be happy to hear this info. Also don't use your finger to paint the middle of the dot for the flower head, use the end of your paintbrush, and pick it up from a small dish. Having any paint for your subjects you are painting in globs of paint is not good. Your work is lovely, and I do hope that you accept this advice from someone who has painted for the last 40 years. The results will give you another amount of joy, believe me...Once done in that manner, it becomes addictive. :)
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed comment. I have tried many styles over the years and have found I prefer not to work within the constraints of a paint brush and have the freedom of painting with my hands instead. 😊
But each and every artist is unique which is the beauty of this profession. 🥰🎨
I think it’s up to the artist how they apply the materials they use, art is an expression so it’s whatever they would like it to be 😊
