Portrait 4/100! I used imitation gold leaf on this one. To figure out where I wanted the gold leaf (in the background), I initially sketched out the portrait in yellow acrylic.
Then I added a quinacridone magenta transparent layer (also acrylic) on top of that (because I like it, and because I knew that it would peek through some of the gold leaf and the portrait itself).
After that dried, I painted some GAC100 acrylic medium in the background area and pressed some foil on top.
Next day I wiped off the un-stuck foil and painted the portrait in oil paint.
I like the gold leaf. What do you think?
