I am working on a commission, a portrait of a young goldsmith. Instead of doing something obvious to identify his profession, I am working on a format that is based on the Golden Section and I wanted to have his nice logo in gold spray as a background. To do that proved to be a greater challenge than I thought. I worked on a number if ideas, made a few tests and did not really like any of it. So I came up with a solution and with the help of my longtime friend Eric Johansson at Skyltbolaget in Stockholm, I used a film as a template. Then I sprayed the gold and removed the film without trouble and could start painting. See process below. Photos where I am in the pictures were taken by newborn photo-nerd Andrea.
