Oh Pierre that is beautiful! That looks like an exciting project to do. I wish I was there to see how you done it! That is right up my alley! Great job!

Many years ago, I worked with a master sign painter, who used oil based stain, normally used on wood, for shading on gold leaf. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly how he did it, and he is no longer with us. Have any of you ever done this, and if so could you share with us? Thanks, Pierre, for sharing such a masterpiece, it brought back some good memories. Peace, Don

Stewey,...Rick Glawson told us many years ago that asphaultum varnish isn't much more than black tar roofing cement in liquid form,...I would still try to get the stuff letterhead supply sells as it is much more refined than the stuff you can get at the local hardware store,...too many changes in recent chemistry to trust whats is on the shelf there,..twenty five years ago I would have said go for it,..but alot of what is out there now has been butchered by the bean counters and new chemistry,....

I once watched Bob Bond paint a corner scroll about 12"x12" on the corner of a red sign blank. He took the size and freehanded (NO PATTERN)a beautiful corner scroll in no less tan 20 SECONDS! It took longer to clean out the brush! He later came back after the leaf was layed snd shadowed it in about 30 SECONDS! After that dried he put the white highlights in place.....maybe 3 minutes!
