Thank you so much Karlyn. An absolutely fabulous video. I learned a lot and your explanations are clear and inspiring. What is the brand name of the base coat and glaze for gold leaf that you used. I'd love to see more on your use of metallic leaf.

Amazing =D

I love love love I want to know a few things pleeeease could you tell me please the kinda paper that you were using and can you get different kinds meaning colors and designs and one more thing what was that glue you used for the paper. I love this I want to do this it is me please help me know the glue stuff and what kinds paper that was. Could I use tissue paper because they have really pretty tissue paper online. Karlyn thank you so much for making this video I love it. Any advise you can help me with it would mean so much to me. I suffer with depression and i love art this is something I really think i could get into but I live on a budget so any advise on products would surly help me. Thank you you are an angel.

Karlyn, so beatiful. Have you put gesso on the canvas before the procedure?

You're obviously having a lot of fun! I can't find the gold powder watercolor on the Daniel Smith site. Did you buy it before they changed to only carrying their own products?

Hello what kind of glue I’d you use for the papers .? Not to the leaves, but the papers ..

Hi, can you do this over the painting (oil) or does it always have to be under?

very helpful

Hi, very nice video . do you use the sealer for goldleaf on whole project or only on the goldleafs?

Thank you for this demo. What is jelly paper? And can you give the name of the watered down paste that you are using?

Love this. Do you have a video of how you make those papers that you tear and paste on ? Do you have Instagram or Facebook?

Hi Karlyn,, gorgeous pieces, very inspiring.... May I ask what you use to seal the imitation gold leaf with?? I understand that it will oxidize (turn dark) very quickly if exposed to other acrylic products due to the copper content in it and the traces of ammonia in acrylic paint unless it is sealed well beforehand. Thanks :)

I love your work could you share what the glue is and that spay you used thank you

youre amazing (:

Karylyn can I ask you something please? I want to start painting should i start with oil paint or what paint is best to start?

Karlyn I am new to abstract and have trouble with composition. You have a sheet showing different composition thumbnails. Where can one find a sheet of ideas like this.

Karlyn, great video! What type of spray are you using, it produces great bursts of colour? thanks!

Karlyn, are you working on watercolor canvas or regular canvas?

Can you watercolour over the gold leaf?

Hi Karlyn. Can you tell me what kind of paste do you use? It's hard for me to understand what you are saying and do you sell it? Thank you.

Gelli pad? Interesting

Oops the comment below was for previous video. Just slow in typing sorry

can u varnish the gold leaf

Np

Enjoyed but your audio was soft and no close ups. Totally respect your craft but unless your interested there is little to learn .

You are not using the gold leaf correctly. Better read the instructions.

Oh you said its imitation gold leaf at 33seconds, now I dont have to watch this video, thanks for the warning
