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
