How to Use Gesso Tablets for Raised Gilding in Calligraphyš
Follow these step-by-step instructions to achieve the perfect raised surface for gilding:
Materials Needed:
⢠Gesso tablet ⢠Distilled water ⢠Clean container (small bowl) ⢠Fine calligraphy brush or spatula ⢠Surface for gilding (paper, vellum, etc.)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Gesso Mix: ⢠Place the gesso tablet into a clean container. ⢠Add a small amount of distilled water, just enough to cover the tablet. ⢠Let it sit for a few minutes to soften, then stir gently until you achieve a smooth, thick, and consistent paste. ⢠Adjust the water quantity as needed, adding a few drops at a time to reach the desired thickness. For raised gilding, the gesso should be thick enough to hold its shape but not too stiff.
2. Apply the Gesso: ⢠Use a fine calligraphy brush or a spatula to carefully apply the gesso to the design area on your surface. ⢠For raised effects, apply the gesso in a slightly domed shape, layering as needed to build up height. Make sure to keep the edges clean for a precise outline.
3. Allow to Dry: ⢠Let the gesso dry completely before proceeding with gilding. Depending on thickness, drying may take several hours or overnight. ⢠Ensure that the gesso is firm and not tacky before moving to the next step.
4. Burnish:- ⢠Once dry, you can lightly burnish the gesso surface with a burnishers to achieve a smoother finish. This step helps in achieving a more polished appearance when applying gold leaf.
5. Gilding: ⢠Before application breath on the gesso with warm breath and once the surface gets sticky then carefully lay down the gold leaf or other metallic leaf.Ā
6. Finishing Touch: ā¢Use a soft brush to remove excess gold leaf and reveal a shiny, raised gilded surface.
.Gently burnish the surface of the gold leaf over the gesso, ensuring the borders also.Ā
