7 Ways I make My Paintings Golden

Writing my last blog post about why I use gold in my paintings I thought you may be interested to see the gold materials I use the most.

 

Paint. I love Ara acrylic paint. It is highly pigmented which is essential to me as I use a lot of water in my process.

Fluid Paint. I use these from Golden they work very well with water, the Golden mediums, or I use them neat for intense shine.

Oil pastels. My favourite are Sennelier gorgeous soft creamy texture and intense colour.

Gold Pencil. I use a Faber Castell one

Inks. I use Jacksons Alcohol based ink I love it for making swirls and patterns on top the surface of the dried acrylic paint.

Spray Paint. Love this either the Liquitex one or the Montana Gold

Gold Leaf. I tend to put this on it the last layers of the painting. Just to add the finishing touches of gold. Though I have in mind to cover the whole surface and paint on that in a future painting…watch this space!

 All the materials I use are high quality and light fast.

I buy almost all of my art supplies from Jacksons Art Suppliers. They have an amazing range and they have quite literally sent orders to me all over the world.

 

I was thinking of a blog post on mixed media that I use but this sort of covers it! I hope this is of interest, let me know if you have any questions or have any gold recommendations for me!
