Being a retired Signwriter I was amused watching you apply the gold leaf. If you are going to do this often I would recommend you buying a Signwriter's Gilding Tip which is made of fine squirrel hair and picks up the leaf easily and can be applied and tamped into the crevices with the same brush. Get the 4" not a small one. Great video.
When I worked at Seaworld in Orlando, the shop I worked in was and probably still is divided into a sign shop and a scenic arts shop. I was a scenic artist, now retired. I have watched a 'seasoned' sign painter apply gold leaf to a sign that's on the Journey To Atlantis gift shop. He used real gold leaf and we were up in a scissor lift. I was painting some of the graphics while the guy applied the gold leaf. It was really interesting to watch him do this. He used a badger hair brush and it was his own personal brush.
So refreshing to see somebody show their mistakes, I was cracking up when you started swearing at your messed up cut. I do that kind of stuff all the time. That Milford Sound painting is amazing! That has to just make a big statement when walking into your gallery.
You are so unique fun and generous with your knowledge. I've got a big smile on my face that will last a while as I skip off into my day...my studio. Thanks heaps.
Tip (from a framing shop owner) : Use a color matching marker (preferably wood markers) on the edges of your frame so the joints won't show the raw wood..😉. Love your frames!!! You did a wonderful job.
Was just doing hrs of research on making my own frames then viola, there's Andrew showing me how ! Thank you, thank you for the GREAT info. Massive painting is fantastic!
Amazing. I usually feel quite critical about 'fake antique' anything. But the amount of consideration, effort, and ingenuity you have put into these frames cancels out any 'fakeness'. Love it!
Milford Sound is seated in it's perfect frame! I love painting but I also am a lady carpenter! I enjoy woodworking and antiquing processes! Liquin instead of the gold leaf adhesive is a great idea! Thanks, Andrew! Your videos are super awesome!
You put so much work and give out so much knowledge in each of your videos, it's mind blowing. This one is no exception. It's always such a pleasure to watch them and listen to your talking.
Absolutely love the effect of the dusty finish! This video brought back memories of my 72 yr old grandmother making her own antique style frames in her woodshop, for her paintings. She purchased trim moldings and put them together with various finishes, similar to yours but not nearly as elaborate. Your frames are the perfect compliment to your breath taking paintings! Thanks for sharing with us Andrew!
Wow! The size and beauty of your Milford Sound painting is breath taking. It's like you're standing there looking at it live on location (without the sand flies). Great video. Great ideas. Thanks so much for sharing.
Awesome skill set beyond your painting skills. Very inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to show the viewers (me) the entire process. I am learning so much from many of your videos. I have painted 2 oil paintings in the past, but for the past few years I have been painting in watercolors (realism & cartoons). I am being inspired more and more to go back again using oils. Probably sooner than later. Thank you.
One of the things they were teaching us about gold leafing in art school is that it's not recommended to touch it with your hands because it becomes darker where you've touched it so they told us to use tweezers to hold it instead. But since you're going with an older look for the frame I think this will be working at your favour. Also makeup brushes are really soft and are perfect for pushing it in and removing the excess. Hope this information was helpful. Love your work Andrew!
As both a professional artist & framer myself, I must say you did a great job selecting the frame for your large painting! The frame's scale & colour complimented the painting without distracting you and actually draws you into the painting, which is exactly what you want!
@Michael Jones You can always learn even as a pro!!! I literally work as a custom framer, with over 12 years of experience. I am also a professional artist with over 20 gallery shows under my belt and placing top 30 nationwide in Canada for The Kingston prize.
After I retired from my Day Time Job as IT director,, I took up photography and Oil painting as my "what am I gonna do with all this time now I have!"" When it came to framing them, I realized it was soooo expensive! So, I took a job with Deck the Walls picture framing. Learned to do custom framing, and gathered some unwanted beautiful frames. I used some that were standard canvas size. I still have some that are not so standard size. I do have miter saw, and I know what to do with those frames. Sell them to youuuu !!! Nawww. I'll customize them one more time. Thanks for this nice video, and awesome paintings of ocean wave and Australian Gorge.
Dear Andrew, thank you so much for showing your human side, (framework frustration) and super human efforts. The frames are magnificent and one if a kind, which we all are! As usual, your videos are jam packed with awesome instruction and you get all of us excited to try! TEAM TISCH!!!!
So...a quick question about your use of metal/foil leaf. I noticed you didn't put any kind of protective coat over the leaf at the end of the process. Metal leaf tends to tarnish. Was wondering if just your use of liquin + oil paint (which you used to age the leaf) is enough to prevent tarnishing. If so, you just made my day! Thank you for this video. I have been looking forever for a way to get that dusty look into the detail of my frames. BIG, big thanks. I absolutely love your videos!
This was wonderful and right on time. I just today acquired a massive and beautiful frame in a silent auction that needs work on its gold leaf and edges. I was going to research how to repair and tone down and you covered every aspect I needed. Thank you!! I'm always on the hunt for quality, cost effective frames for my work!
This is hands down my favourite video of yours, it's everything after my own heart; beautiful creativity for a fraction of a cost with generous inspiration from the past. I kept hoping for a verdigris frame as well! I so badly want to try this but live in a tiny flat
Dude, you are seriously talented. When you finally revealed your large painting framed on the wall, I was blown away that you actually painted that. Dang. Hats off to you.
It's like you've been reading my mind. I've started making my own frames for my paintings, and this is video is spot on for what I have been interested in doing. I have several paintings now that need frames and I'm so glad that I've held off until now to make them because my imagination needed exactly this! Cheers fellow painter, thank you for sharing and for all your work.
Wow very inspiring, I have worked gold leafing for many years, I have to complement you on your ability to gold leaf..you have developed a strategy and technique that works so well
Three years later, I came back to this video, bought a gilding kit, and framed one of my larger paintings the "antique way". I was a bit nervous before getting into this project but I admit it has been fun and looks awesome. Thank you for the video!
This was a fabulous video. I have worked some with gold leaf and loved watching how you did. Also, the antiqueing process was fascinating. I can't work with such large frames anymore at my age but am going to try some of your techniques on smaller frames I have in storage that I haven't wanted to use. Love your teaching Andrew--you are a delight to listen to.
Hi Andrew, I'm a custom framer in Texas, have been for over twenty yrs. Enjoyed ur video on Frankenframes, which I do myself occasionally. Tiny tip, right before joining, before applying glue, color the inside of moulding w stain marker, same color as exterior. Helps make the join even more invisible!
Thanks Andrew. It's always nice to watch you do your stuff. You are so talented and your attention to detail shows in everything you do. Thanks for the 2 free months of skillshare too.
I think this is the best video I've watched on UA-cam. No joke I absolutely LOVE when you scraped off some off the black to show the burnt umber underneath! Thank you so much Mr. Tischler for working so hard and sharing such precious knowledge and experience with us. #hugefan
I worked for a couple of years in a high-end picture frame shop in Naples Florida (Michael Mesnik Fine Picture Framing, highly recommended) and he was taught in DC by a European framer for 10 years. He would join frames by drilling holes for small nails and gluing, but before you apply glue, always put black or dark magic marker along the inside raw wood parts of the frame so that any alignment glitch doesn't show wood. Or if it's gold, I guess a gold pen. I used to always mix waxes to fill in frames too, even old frames. I can hardly go to a top museum or gallery without bemoaning the neglect of those fabulous old frames. Love your work and you're doing a great job. I gasped at the size of that huge frame.
Perfect! I just snatched up a ton of frames at a local auction. Some are nice, but others are not. I'll be able to use these techniques to salvage most of them! Thanks so much!
Inspiring! And fun to see the gold leaf work. My Dad was a sigh painter in San Jose CA and I remember him working with it, I actually have his old kit and need to try it! Love your videos.
Thank you so much for sharing your videos. I wasn’t aware you could paint over gold leaf. Love the patina looks you’ve achieved. Extremely useful information. Thanks again, Andrew! 🙂
I accidentally clicked on your channel and I am glad I did. You are great in front of the camera... a natural, as they say in the trade. I learned so much and want to try this as a hobby.
I don't have all your amazing equipment so I buy frames at a discount store and then use techniques you use to change their look. They go from a cheap look to a really high end look. It really IS fun!
Reminds me how much I used to love fixing old frames, ones with damaged pieces missing, by making molds of existing pieces and replacing missing parts. Then refinishing like you showed in this great video. It was very rewarding and satisfying to do. And you had a unique frame. But I also bought lots of pre -made frames, and found a couple of companies that had good prices and beautiful styles like antique types. Never tackled trying to apply gold leaf - kudos on that accomplishment! Nice video as usual!
@@TheLlywelyn Hi there, I admit it has been a long time since I've thought about it, however, I searched online for the materials i used and can't find exactly the same thing. But there are many good videos including one from the Smithsonian in the US on "picture frame restoration and conservation". It really depends on the quality of the frame and how involved you wish to get. Basically I used a kind of putty that was pliable, and pressed onto an existing part of the frame to make a mold, (good tip: use some kind of powder on the part before doing this so it comes off easy!), then when that hardened, I used plaster of paris to fill the mold to recreate the missing piece. Or if too small, just use some thicker plaster to fill in by hand. I never worked on a large or expensive frame like Andrew has, but "flea market finds" where quality was not a big issue. Then instead of gold leaf, I applied a gold toned acrylic paint or rubbed on a paste like substance and matched the frame, or painted the entire frame. It was fun, and the results were good enough to use or resell at a market. Good Luck and Enjoy!
So pleased Andrew to see you using traditional rococo style mouldings so brilliantly. I bought a huge job lot of damaged gold frames at an auction, they were originally from a London Cork Street gallery, and for very little money. After watching your video, I’ll be able to restore and use them. Great video.
like to see other artists make their own frames, I love making my own frames too but with mixed media without wood, but you gave me some great ideas in this video.
I'm gearing up to make my own frames in a similar manner and never would've thought of the "dust" component. That's genius. Thank you so much for sharing.
This was fun to watch Andrew. The gold frames look so beautiful against the beautiful blue skies. That large mountain painting is magnificient!. Thank you.
This is not meant as a criticism, but the last dusty color seems to be a bit too strong for me. I have a few old paintings and the frames are indeed similar, but the dusty ageing patina is a bit darker and maybe not so noticeable. But of course, it depends of many factors, such as the environment conditions. But I'm here to learn, and I'm learning. It's a beautiful work. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Subscribed!
Nice job!! A little tip to save time before joining corners ..use a dark marker for dark frames and the same color ( gold , silver , etc )of frame to color each inner edge of raw wood side , cuts down on filling in gaps also try using colored. wax/ putty ( dark , gold, silver , etc) almost looks like shoe polish to fill in any reaming gaps no dry time and wipes off easy .hope this helps .
thanks! just a hint. i use long regridgerator/ appliance straps either around, or across both ways with thick cardboard under the strap to protect the wood. then just use the tigheners to make snug until dry.
You are so amazing even building your own frames I have learned so much from you thank you for sharing i wish I was younger I’m 88 don’t have the energy but I love all your videos and your beautiful paintings bless you

I will give this a shot! Thanks for the tip!
Is that what I see Kafka using when he uses gold leaf.
@@BengtRosini13 Don't know Kafka
You only need a squirrel gilders tip when applying real gold, not for metal leaf.

It was fun to watch this, I worked at a frame company left to build cabinets, now retired and picking up the art work I left behind.
You are so lucky. Wish I could be like you.
Wow, I came here to see how I can make one.......nevermind, I'll just keep searching estate sales, thrift shops, etc. You are a Master at this!
Easy if you have the tools! I will search out old frames too!
Wow! The size and beauty of your Milford Sound painting is breath taking. It's like you're standing there looking at it live on location (without the sand flies). Great video. Great ideas. Thanks so much for sharing.
Try mixing rottenstone (
weathered siliceous limestone used as a powder or paste for polishing metals) with your liquin for that dusty effect.
