Review on 🎨 Reeves Gold Scraperfoil Kit: Captivating 8x10 Horse Portrait for Art Enthusiasts by Summer Hendricks

Lots of work but I'm happy with the result

Lots of work but I'm happy with the result. it's about the application. By this I mean that part of the product has one coating thickness while other parts of the product have a thinner coating. The difference in thickness isn't obvious, so as you scrape you'll find that you may need to adjust the pressure or angle of the tool so you don't scrape too much, resulting in a white paper that is exposed or looks like it will Tools are not easy to slide over the tan-red lines of the design and require a few scratches to get to the foil. This is my second job that I have completed. My first work was Reeves' Wolf. I mention this because the Wolf project (silver foil) used a completely different type of black medium. The texture of the black medium for the wolf was more like butyl or clay. The black environment for the tiger was much more fragile. It's like scraping dried liquid white off a smooth surface. Scratching is easy with the tool provided, but the result is not a very clean line and the black medium sometimes seems to "peel off". With experience you will learn how to use different tool angles and adjust the pressure to get the best result. I've also switched between the wolf-supplied tool and the tiger-supplied tool. Look at the picture of the two tools I uploaded. The tool that came with the wolf is coming to an end. On the tiger, I used the wolf tool to draw thin, detailed lines. For large areas I used the tool that came with the Tiger. Honestly, it would be nice if Reeve included a sharp and broad tool, or at least a pen and both points. Project. These foil panels are very fragile and very prone to fingerprints and accidental scratches. It's not cheap but perfect for my use: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018MGQ8E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1Tip 2. Get a natural hair brush to use for sketching or sketching can be. You never want to use your hand to brush away chips. This will deposit oil from your hand onto your project and create large deposits that will make the project look "dirty" and make the brownish-red pattern difficult to see. Tip 3: Use a blank piece of white paper, fold it in half and always use it to relax. your hand when you make your scratches. This will help keep oil from running off your hands and smearing your project. Change paper frequently. Tip 4. Take your time! Don't try to do this in one day or in "15 hours" or any other set period of time. Get in a comfortable position and take a deep breath before you start scratching. Step away from the project to scratch an itch or whatever ;o) It's a fun project but gets boring and routine when you're not in the mood for a clean. This will definitely lower the quality of your project. Tip 5: Use gloves when working on a project to minimize fingerprints. I haven't done it yet but I want to and will for my next project. That's all the advice I can think of at the moment! EDIT: Here is the lion
