5920760 - Sizing

specific product

125 ml

This is a specific compound for gilding based on gesso and rabbit glue. The Bologna gesso is an ultra-fine, impalpable powder that makes the impasto soft. Sizing is a fundamental step in gilding because it prepares a Bologna base suitable for applying the leaf. Ready to use. Apply warm after slightly heating it in a double boiler so it has the consistency of milk.

First application: 100% Maimeri Puro colour: Maimeri Puro tints are highly concentrated so some colours appear very dark when used in their pure form.

Second application: 50% Maimeri Puro colour + 50% Colourless Medium, i.e. a neutral unpigmented paste. This medium is used for thinning the tints, enhancing the flow and emphasizing the depth of the thinned colour.

Third application: 10% Maimeri Puro colour + 90% Glazing Medium to emphasize the sheen of the tint and the different degree of opaqueness between the colours.

Fourth application: 50% Maimeri Puro colour + 50% Titanium White, to emphasize the undertone of the tint and highlight the concentration.
