The painting started with 8 layers of hand made gesso. The gold was gilded using traditional techniques of the old masters using genuine 23.5 ct gold leaf. . Then 18+ thin glazes of 15 different pigments were all layered on top and finally sealed with hand made beeswax varnish made in my studio.
The gold was burnished using agate stone for high reflective surface and to bring its beauty. The painting was made of high-quality birch plywood sealed with cloth for longevity.
All materials are hand made all the way from the paints, the base layer to the wax varnish.
It is framed with 23.5 ct water gilded frame.
