At last I have finished this painting!!! I carefully (and patiently!) applied the silver leaf and outlined in black. But it just didn't excite me until I had the inspiration to sketch in a background scene, using pencil, and blended it into the existing pattern. The scene is Middle Eastern since the design elements lean toward the Islamic.
I love how the silver leaf catches the light and makes the composition sing! Tomorrow I will spray fixative on the pencil to prevent smudging and varnish the silver to stop tarnish.
I love it now! I am satisfied that I have done a good job :)
