Some photos of how the metal leaf actually reflects light! They seem to glow in the dark and flare in the light!
I haven't worked with marker or watercolor on these so I don't know about those specifically but it's really really easy to work with metal leaf/false gold and silver leaf. I simply buy the kits from an art store like Blick; I usually buy the "Old World" brand leafing kits here!
Oooo I'll have to do some tests. Gold would work well with the tea paintings I'm experimenting with. Never tried back in university as our shop had just the leaf priced pretty high.
