I put the gilding on the Mona Lisa today. My original plan was not to color the burning, and have the colors of the painting reflected in the silver leaf. I changed that plan and added color to the burning. Now I think it might be to much color. I am thinking of changing to a cooper leaf with a bronze type patina. Once the patina dries and the stink goes away, I can get a better picture.
What do you think would look best?
