More gilding and painting...






These frames are nearly finished, the sides have been painted, had a grey paint wash, and then been waxed. The scoop slip part has also been painted and will have a light colouring with wax and dry pigments. Lastly the gilding will be spray sealed with acrylic varnish. These types of finishes can be done on any number of different profiles, with even more variations in the colours and effects that can be used in hand finishing the moulding.
