St-Germain, Metallic Gold and Copper on Turquoise Notecards

Original design inspired by the Paris’ oldest church, Sainte-Germain-des-Prés.

Turquoise cardstock with color-shifting gold and copper metallic colors.

All metallic colors are the result of a technique called “bronzing.” In bronzing, dry pigment colors are applied to fresh ink with a brush before the ink has had the opportunity to dry. While labor-intensive, to me, the method is superior to printing with metallic inks because of the resulting soft finishes, transparency, and possibility of color-shifting and iridescent effects.
