About Shell Gold
Shell gold is a type of gold powder that is commonly used in artistic applications, particularly in painting and gilding. Our shell gold is a high-quality, genuine 23.75 karat gold powder suspended in gum arabic, making it perfect for creating fine lines, details, and touch-ups on paint surfaces.
Benefits of Using Shell Gold
One of the biggest advantages of using shell gold is its convenience. Unlike traditional gold leaf, shell gold is easy to apply and can be used to create a variety of effects, from subtle, delicate details to bold, eye-catching statements. Additionally, shell gold is relatively expensive, but a little goes a long way, making it a cost-effective option for artists.
How to Use Shell Gold
Using shell gold is relatively straightforward. Simply apply the gold powder to your paint surface using a soft-hair brush, similar to painting. When dry, the shell gold has a finely grained, matte finish that can be brightened up with burnishing. It's essential to reserve a brush specifically for using shell gold, so as to avoid washing the gold down the drain.
Choosing the Right Size
Our shell gold is available in three sizes: small (0.3 grams), medium (1 gram), and large (2 grams). The size you choose will depend on the scope of your project and your personal preference. For smaller, more delicate projects, the small size may be sufficient, while larger projects may require the medium or large size.
