There are actually two of the same scrolls commissioned so I had to duplicate my work. This was my first attempt at doing raised gilding.
Level: Private commission
Paint: Winsor & Newton Gouache
Pen & Ink: Winsor & Newton Black and Red Calligraphy inks; outlines done with Pigma Micron archival ink pen, Speedball C6 and C4 nibs
Illumination: raised; Jerry Tressors gesso, imitation gold leaf
Paper: Pergamentata, 230grm
Inspiration: Contract for an apprenticeship
