Did a few gold leaf windows for @gordion.lyngby Hand painted and oil gilded in reverse on the glass. Using @1shotpaints fast size and 23 crt @giustomanetti gold leaf. I also designed the logo using artificial intelligence and the typeface Futura. Getting a clean surface gild on glass with no outline is actually quite a challenge. But am very happy with the result. #CopenhagenSigns #Signpainting #Signpainter #Signwriting #Signwriter #Skiltemaling #Skiltemaler #Typography #Type #Design #GraphicDesign #HandPaintedSign #HandMadeSign #HåndmaledeSkilte #HåndmaletSkilt #Skilte #Skilt #Forgyldning #Bladguld #Gilding #Skiltemager #FacadeSkilt #FacadeSkilte #Skiltning #Signs #København #Copenhagen #GoldLeaf #SupportYourLocalSignPainter #IOAFS (her: Restaurant Gordion) https://www.instagram.com/p/COXETp0H4ra/?igshid=btg7trb60l8t

Two tone gilded #ampersand. A matte center with mirror outline is often referred to as a #BostonGild. And prismatic letters in a two tone gild is called a #ChicagoGild. Usually just with a black outline and/or a block shade. Here the black background is painted first, then I paint the matte parts using 1 Shot fast size with a bit of whiting. And water gild on top of it. Then backing up with metallic brass/gold and then black. There is of course many different ways to do it, depending on the job. #CopenhagenSigns #Signpainting #Signpainter #Signwriting #Signwriter #Skiltemaling #Skiltemaler #HandLettering #Lettering #HandPaintedSign #HåndmaledeSkilte #HåndmaletSkilt #Skilte #Skilt #Forgyldning #Bladguld #GoldLeaf #Gilding #Skiltemager #FacadeSkilt #FacadeSkilte #Skiltning #Signs #Sign #København #Copenhagen #IOAFS (her: Værnedamsvej) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNAckTBHH6N/?igshid=1h2aaps4pk44j
