Portrait 4/100

 


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?
