if you have paint down already you can apply it with just water, you don’t need glue necessarily i don’t think.
thats my favorite youtube tutorial! THANK U FOR EXPLAINING SO WELL💌🪽
Thank you for this video! To the point and easy to follow. Can’t wait to use this on my current project!
Thank you for your tutorial, very helpful and the sound of your voice is so cute. Thank you for the materials recommendations.
Butter does fall off the edges of corn on the cob or waffles when melted just right!🙂
Wonderful video but my gold leaf foil stuck to alot of other areas on the canvas where I didn't apply any glue
Thanks for sharing. Question - I plan to apply gold leaf and then put resin on top. Do I still need to seal it or can I skip the sealer part? Please suggest.
You can probably skip the sealer ☺️
@@ashlysartistry Thank you
Beautiful video👍. Can you please recommend a sealant for foil??
1:00
is the sealant (I know the packaging looks like the glue, but same brand)
0:42
is the glue
hope this helps!
Like Butter off a hot Knife …👍
Have u used brush for applying glue there?
Yes! Any brush will do fine.
Omg 😍
How do you seal the colored or painted areas?
I dont, it’s not needed.
varnish your painting, is it necessary to apply the sealer? Or you can apply the final varnish over The acrylicpainting immediately after application of the gold. Thanks love the video.
Nice.
Is there such a thing as a spray size for the gold leaf application?
When using something like a stencil with specific cut out shapes the size when painted onto the stencil (no matter how carefully) just bleeds underneath so I can't get the precise shape (non-geometric)...
Any ideas how to do this or is there a spray size available?
Wow, this video was really informative. Thank you for sharing with us such a useful informations! ❤❤❤
Your welcome hun, thanks for your beautiful comment ❤️
So after you seal the gold leaf and it fully dries/cures, can you varnish the entire canvas like you typically would?
Do you know if I can use mod pogue as a glue? Thanks so much!
I do little at a time and l place my canvas on the table so l can save my leaf for further projects. Waste not.
Thanks for the tutorial. How did you set up the light bue base?
Great video. Could you please write down ingredients please? I didn't get the names of products. Thank you. 😊
How do you varnish over the leaf? Do I varnish the paint and the leaf?
Can someone please tell me where can I buy it.😢😢 Please 🙏🥺🥺🥺
Beautiful art! Can I use any type glue?
That was a very informative video! Thank you so much! I did have one question, can we have gold leaf textured if we wanted it to? Like if we dropped it on to our paintings for an effect? Would it affect our sealing process?
if you still want to varnish your painting, is it necessary to apply the sealer? Or van you apply the final varnish over the acrylicpainting immediately after application of the gold... sorry for my bad english 😂😂 love your video. Thanks
You can skip sealer if you like!
Unbonb? been in unbuo
uoup
Unl nyj. hmu. He;
Thanks this was my first video and I think I'm ready to leaf.
Great job! I appreciate the lesson and plan on trying this week
The butter comment made me laugh lol ❤
How to remove unstuck gold leaf
how long do you lead foil lead on before removing it and how long before you use sealer, no one offers these questions thanks
I left the foil on for about 15 minutes until the glue dried and you can apply sealer immediately after.
Wait… why not save ALL FLAKES as they can be reapplied?
I do save them, for other projects 😊
Great tips. They are so specific and simple! Thank you. The best video I’ve seen on this!!!
Great video but the amount of silver leaf wasted stressed me OUT 🤣
Nothing is ever wasted! I collect the remaining bits to use on another project 😊😊
@@ashlysartistry Oh! Thank goodness, my heart can rest! 😂☺
Thank you 😊
This saves me a great deal in choosing art work where I wanna hide something. But please could share all the products you bought from Amazon so that I can also get them correctly?
you can use all the scrap as metal dust, everyone else says to use soft brush, is stiff brush because it is canvas?
I like a stiff brush because it gets in the crevices of the canvas. But use whatever works best for you.
Can you please give me the name brand of the brushes or a link to them?
The brushes are very old, Im not sure where they came from. But I would use any brush from the art supply store and a specifically coarser brush to remove the gold leaf excess.
You are awesome! 😍 I really really wanted to do your art now ! Such an informative video ! Thanks a lot !!! 😍
How long do I leave the gold leaf on the canvas before I brush it off? And can I use earners glue instead of the one you used? Please answer ASAP thank you so much!!
You can brush it off immediately. If earners glue is made for gold leaf then yes, otherwise no.
Can even apply normal glue?
Could you do gold leaf on flower. I also want to know how to add gold on a flower on a paint that graphic adobe illustrator made or digital. Your video was helpful. I liked it.
Silver gold?
Or a large sheet or towel on your floor to catch way what falls and you can save all as flakes to use for something else
Can you do a video using different colored leaf eg. blue, purple, green, pink, ect.?
Thank you for the tips really helpful ❤️❤️
How much time it takes to stick
Ahhhhh Bob Ross 🎉
i am a first time at using GOLD LEAF and you made it look so easy to apply .thank you for the video and hope to see more from you ..
Greetings from xpertarts 🙂💖💖💖
So here cause I have a problem with the gold leaf sticking to my acrylic paint so if I laid it down like you showed here... Id have a nearly silver/gold canvas and my painting would be ruined... Any tips?
Make sure your painting is 100% dry before starting the gold leaf process 🙂🙂 Usually acrylic dries pretty quickly but if you are worried then leave it for a few hours or even overnight!
Well done. Quite informative. Am not scared to try it now.👍
What sealer did you use? I'm having trouble finding videos talking about choices of gold leaf sealers, liquid brushed vs spray sealers and best brands.
She shows you the adhesive and the sealer at the beginning of the video. I think they are both made by the same brand
Thank u Ashley. Appreciate ur vids. When i use gold leaf it always stick to my resin and paint work without using the glue, i dont kno if am using the right gold leafs. I actually want to use the glue coz i only want the flakes sticking wher i want them to, not everywher. If i try putting the sheet on the place and then try to brush the excess off it wont happen the whole sheet will actually stick. Hope i make sense.. please please reply i am really stuck
Thats strange! Make sure you are applying the glue only where you need it and also make sure your painting is fully dry before starting the gold leaf application process!
It sounds like your painting isn’t dry enough before applying the gold leaf.
Same problem with me!! The leaf get stick to the areas even where l don't apply glue! And on totally dried painting
All the pieces that fall off at the end can you collect them and use again as flakes?
Absolutely!
So obviously you would do this after you varnish right ?
No I would do this before varnishing as the varnish will help seal it in even better 🙂
@@ashlysartistry o ok thanks
Thank you for this video! Step by step and great tips!! ❤
How did you get the original blue paint on the canvas
It looks so beautiful
Can you paint over mistakes?
Absolutely you can!
You are a great teacher, thank you for sharing your skiills.
Ok so I just realized….. I didn’t wait
Love it
This will be my next project
Brilliant video many thanks for sharing this, quick question can you paint on the gold leaf before you seal it? Or do you seal it 1st then paint on it and then seal it? Please advise ⭐️✨️😊
You can paint on the gold leaf before or after you seal it.
Thank you. JESUS bless you! 🙏🏾🙌🏾✝️
Could this be done on shoes?
Probably 😋 but unless you’ve got a really good sealant I don’t think the results would last long.
Do you have to prime the canvas first? Love your video!
You can if you want to, but I didnt 🙂
Hey, thanks for the tutorial. After you are done can the canvas be rolled up for storage? It will the brake the for and the sealer?
It should be okay if it’s sealed.
Thank you for the great video and tips.
Thanks so much. Great video - took the scary out of the process.
So cool i so want to try this now.
Çan i seal imitation silver leaf with resin ?
What would happen if we didn’t seal it? I’m wanting to foil on a plaster on canvas surface.
You should be fine! Sealing isn’t necessary but definitely adds extra protection.
Can we use glue such a fevicol or something?
wow....is this adhesive applied after the paint dried ?
Help me how do I keep the gold flakes when I apply the gold leaf from my hand There's so many gold leaf in my hands it's annoying help I don't want to have gold flakes when I touch it want to happen is when I touch the product with the gold leaf it does not leave a golf flake in my hands
What Sealer do u use
Gold leaf is super delicate so its hard not to have it get everywhere. Just make sure you are in a room with no wind movement and you can also try applying it with a brush!
Great tutorial, how do you get rid of the lines of the squares from the joints of the foil? I am looking to create a seamless connection.
This is a good question, i would experiment and see what works best. Maybe try overlapping a bit?
Do a vase such a messy project but love it
Beautiful beautiful thanks for sharing
Can you press the leaf directly into the slightly wet paint or you have to wait until it's completely dry then add the adhesive?
You will have to wait until your paint is dry and then add adhesive.
Smooth like Butter... you fortune teller
Is it possible to use a spray?
Bob Ross!!!😄 Thank you!
Can you still use the excess that has fallen off the canvas? Just out of curiousity
Absolutely!
Love this vid! Can I draw after I apply the gold leaf? Like above it?
Yes!
Thank you for this video ❤️
Can I varnish the entire painting after sealing the gold leaf? Or should I not use varnish on gold leaf?
You can if you like 👍🏾🙂
Thanks for the video. Are using acrylic paint for this canvas?
Yes I am!
Seems like a lot of waste leaf
Thanks for sharing 😊
This was very helpful thank you!
Tnx👍
I just started using gold foil on a painting that I'm currently doing. So when use the sealer to seal to the silver/gold foil, how do you seal the painting itself? Can still go over the entire painting, including the foil, with varnish? Or would that ruin the foil and essentially the whole painting?
You can use any painting varnish you like it wont tarnish your gold foil!
@@ashlysartistry ok thanks
Why waste so much of the leafing? Did you need to use so many sheets?
This is how I prefer to apply it. You can surely use the scraps to fill the gaps but it would take much longer and I do save the scraps for different projects so nothing is really wasted.
Great! Thank you.
This was informative...
Nice job!
What size canvas did you use for this?
Great job! Thank you! 🙏🏼
This was a really informative video!
Thank you
You rock😇💃
Wow so beautiful ... and very well explained 👍
Very pretty. What brand do you use?
