We start by mastering the laying down of metal leaf and then work on decorative techniques which include methods of creating patterned colour finishes. .The versatility of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint™ allows us to create a faux marble effect. a look of worn metal and mimic the verdigris greens and blues of a soft aged copper look. By the addition of an emulsion we see how to develop intriguing patterns on the gilded surface.
I will demonstrate further techniques to gently age copper metal leaf and some exciting effects to tarnish metal leaf work.
