Liquid Gold

Liquid Gold is a selection of 8 permanent metallic colours for fine arts, restoration, decorative arts and hobby painting. Formulated with metallic pigments, soluble only in alcohol, these colors are infinitely more brilliant than their waterbased counterparts, and absolutely durable and light fast. Paint should be thoroughly shaken or stirred before use.

If it were necessary to dilute the colours further, only 96% pure alcohol should be added to avoid oxidation. Liquid Gold cannot be mixed with water since the slightest contact with water will cause the pigments to rust within the jar.

Gold leaf paint



'Gold leaf paint' may mean a number of things, but it best describes an expensive gilding medium which is also known as 'shell gold' or occasionally 'tablet gold'. This is finely powdered gold mixed with a water-soluble binding medium and dried into a small lump.

Other kinds of 'gold leaf' paint

'Gold leaf paint' can also refer to any number of gold-coloured or gold-effect paints for use in paper art, or on signs, furniture, and interior or exterior surfaces. These vary considerably in quality, price, and degree of 'goldenness'.
Gold-effect paints and inks are often made from fine yellow metallic particles suspended in a medium such as gum, glycerine, acrylic etc. The medium dries and leaves the particles as a gold-coloured layer.
Liquitex acrylic gold is the highest-customer-rated gold-leaf-paint product I can find that's suitable for use on paper and for calligraphic work.
(Acrylic paints are plastic-based water-soluble paints; some calligraphers like them very much for use in backgrounds behind calligraphy, or to make up a smooth thick ink. Note that they are no longer soluble after drying.
Gouache is water-soluble after drying, so it's not as resilient as acrylic, and it can have a slightly flatter, drier-looking finish which you may prefer.)
