    Oil Gilding – secrets and problem solving insights

    There are a few important tips you need to know in order to achieve great results in various conditions.

    Gilding, Murals and Architectural works: I found this useful article below and edited it adding some extra detail, tips and trix.  Coming from a long family history of gilding going back 3 generations I am a task master of these skills – I love gilding and it’s great fun! Once you work with gold, life is simply gleaming 🙂

    Good gilding is all about being organised, relaxed and methodological – gold picks up on static and stress so my Tai Chi skills really pay off!

    I am a dedicated master signwriter with over 30 years experience in London and UK… a case history I hope you’ll find interesting.

    Notting hill and working in -5 degrees, sleet and snow didn’t deter us from producing this great looking hand painted facade for Strutt & Parker estate agents.  The theme was the Kensington Gardens flora and fauna… Elms portrayed in a distinctively modern way.

        

    The Elms of Kensington Gdns inspired the artwork for this mural… Day 2 and biting cold..
