Large Custom built cabinets with 22k Gold Leaf over Burnished Clay and Gesso

Both front and back of the bottom doors were covered with White Gold. Had to be pretty clean the client wasn't going for a distressed look. To keep the grid tight, I penciled in a grid lightly over the burnished clay.

Perfect example of the difference between a Oil Sized leaf job and a water gilt burnished leaf job. Look at the side after burnishing the clay then burnishing the leaf you basically have a mirrored leaf look.
