Ah, I have another question, unrelated to the previous one. I made up a batch of bole and didn’t use all of it. Is that good indefinitely or will it go bad because of the rabbit skin glue? Right now I’m just storing it in the refrigerator.

Thanks Ruth! Raised gesso will now added to my next fun with gesso day. I dm'd on insta an image of my first attempt at making a painting using only bole. Question now is, ahem, how to seal the surface since I'm not gilding it. Hadn't thought this through...Happy hols, and looking forward to the rest of the fantastic advent tree.
@@michaelflint4159 Hi Michael thank you. I mistakenly responded in the general comments...just to say I'm trying to protect the natural sheen of the burnished bole, so trying various wax approaches. Jury still out....
That looks wonderful. I would love it if you could do a video on the cheap cheap gold leaf that you can get on eBay for about £5 and if you have any tips for how to make that look as best as it can.
Hi, gesso for canvas is made with modern glue, pva etc. I'm using traditional rabbit skin glue to make this traditional gesso. Have a look at this video on how to make traditional gesso th-cam.com/video/yS8gd2jy9gU/w-d-xo.html
I'm thinking of doing some pastiglia on a painting. I've got all the stuff I need to make gesso, but haven't done it before. Is gesso putty just gesso with more whiting? How much?
Hello Michael, thank you. I'm trying to find a way to preserve the natural burnished sheen of the bole, and shellac, alas, will give too high a sheen. I'm experimenting with wax suspended in alkyd. Jury is still out.

OMG!! That's brilliant! Thanks Ruth, can't wait for the next one,
Thanks for the advice! I’ve got a ton of stencils. This is one technique I plan to use!

Maybe white shellac?

I want to give you a French manicure for your Christmas videos :)
How did you achieve the leaves and brunches being lighter and smoother?
I sanded the gesso then added the red bole, then after gilding they got burnished, so they stand out from the matt background.
Nice work- how do you make Gesso putty ?
Its the same as gesso, just stronger glue and much more whiting.
Is the gesso that you use the same as the gesso that you put on your canvas?.

What type of size did use use as glue for the gold?
This is water gilding, the water recipes is in the description of water gilding for beginners video.

You make a stronger glue 5-1 and just keep adding whiting untill you get to something that doesn't drip
@@RuthTappinGilder Never made gesso before, but now I'm absolutely going to have a go. Ready, and hardly scared at all.

I make traditional gesso for my egg tempera paintings. Did you make the putty…just letting it stiffen up or is that a product you buy?
It's just a stronger glue mix with much more whiting.
Hello Ruth could you give the right proportions of glue and clay for this raised gesso please ?
Can you gild over plaster of Paris? Since you are putting a layer of gesso first, I guess that probably means yes.
Yes you can, here is a video about gilding plaster. th-cam.com/video/tpGNYcg0USk/w-d-xo.html
Hope that helps.
