Silver Leaf Console

An aging glaze tones down the shiny newness on this piece. Old reliable raw umber and black glaze brushed on and rubbed and stippled back. Glaze on, glaze off.
And a tiny friend done much later. No, not for the same client.

Dresser with Silver Leaf Trim

The paint on this piece is pale lavender. Bees and applied detail was done with silver leaf. Then I toned it all down with a hefty dose of dark umber and black glaze.

The lavender color was roughly brushed directly over a very dark blue base coat.
