Comment utiliser Goldfinger en peinture avec Carole Jury

In this tutorial, artist Carole Jury introduces a touch of luxury to traditional painting using Goldfinger, Daler-Rowney’s metallic rub-on paste, combined with Georgian Oil paint for elegant, gilded effects. Originally designed for gilding and antique restoration, this versatile paste becomes a bold statement in fine art applications.

What You’ll Need

• Goldfinger Gilding Colours (22 ml), a professional metallic paste range available in five rich finishes – Antique Gold, Sovereign Gold, Green Gold, Copper (Imitation), and Silver (Imitation). It works on surfaces ranging from canvas and paper to wood, textiles, and leather.

• Georgian Oil Paint or Mediums, which offer a seamless blend with Goldfinger for painting applications. You can thin Goldfinger with white spirit and layer it into oil media for added sheen and integration in your work.

How It Works

Goldfinger transforms ordinary painting into a gilded masterpiece. Apply the metallic paste using your finger or a soft cloth to add luminous accents and reflective details. It thins easily with white spirit, enabling smooth integration with oil paints. For enhanced durability and maintenance, you can seal the gilded areas with the matching Goldfinger Varnish.

Why It Matters

Goldfinger lends an elevated, luxurious feel to your artwork, making it ideal for adding highlights, decorative elements, or antique-style accents. Its ease of use and compatibility with oil mediums make it accessible to both hobbyists and professional artists seeking unique finishes.
