I recently was impressed by the gilding method of I recently was impressed by the gilding method of my new friend and exceptional artist and gilder, Yulia Klishina..Klishinart .... I was intrigued by her gilding method and took an online lesson from her to learn her technique for getting a high brilliance to her gold without traditional burnishing.  This is the result of my first attempt at using her method.  I have been gilding for many years but I am always delighted to learn something new!  Yulia is also a GREAT teacher! #gilding #iconography
