I had to get some more gold acrylic last week, and found some Daler-Rowney System 3 on offer. I’ve just opened it up, to do some gold detailing on a keyring piece (you know the things, those little snap-together plastic ones that you can put photos or anything in – I use them for scraps of my test pieces) and just had to do a couple of panels too. I don’t know what I’ll end up doing with them, but anything I paint over that with is going to be warm and luminous.
