Speed Paint of an Islamic Geometric Pattern with Jeea Mirza
Here is a short clip of me painting a simple Islamic Geometric pattern using gouache paint. This was painted and filmed as part of my recent tutorial on how to use a Ruling Pen, but this clip didn’t quite make it into that video! This was about 10 minutes of film sped up to just under 2minutes.

I got one of these with my masking fluid so I figured I should figure out how to use it, so thank you for this video!
Which paper is that
Great lesson. Thank you 🇨🇦🌹
I would it inadvisable to touch your paper with your hands as this transfers oils to the surface?
Than you for making the time to explain and to demonstrate the process.

I am looking for a way to apply 23.75 kt shell powder to raised surfaces made of painted on acrylic gel on paper. The gel dries clear as glass, and I'm sure could be made receptive, and I'm a bit stumped for this art project. Any medium for the gold must stick to acrylic, and allow for burnishing once dry. Any ideas from you tech mavens?
Great tutorial love it , I want to ask two questions? Can we do shell gold painting on white paper? Is it necessary to do tea stain or corn starch layers on paper first before applying gold?
Nice video and thank you.
This was very helpful. I use a ruling pen for masking fluid in my watercolor paintings. But I loved your demonstration with the rulers. That was very helpful. But I was so impressed when you used it with a compass. I can’t even use a compass with a pencil. Maybe I have a cheap one. Thank you.
❤❤❤❤
What outlining brush do you use?
Wonderfully explained. Thank you. Any tips on dealing with compass holes in the paper?
Tool?
Watched before I sat down to apply my first shell gold. In my case to etched glass, but now I know the process and why I should use pure water and glasses for burnishing! Excellent.
Thanks for the tutorial. I'll use it for painting thin red or white lines on 1/25 scale model car tires.
Try dropping the paint into the blades: hold both pen and brush fairly upright If you don’t get any on the outside you don’t need to wipe. You can also get more in in one pass, so it’s quicker. You don’t need to clean your pen before refilling it; just add a little more between each line, otherwise the lines are progressively more faded because tha most pigment came out on the first line.
Hi, will the shell gold work on vellum , and would the metal tool tool that I have for working on the vellum that's the same shape as your burnisher work to save buying another tool. I must try this type of gilding on my cards. Thanks for the inspiration.
Please tell me what is this tracing paper.
nice !
Why on Earth would you use mineral water? It's full of minerals.
I no longer use the roach clip for making lines on drawings but frequently pull it out to apply MEK when gluing plastics!
Thank you for the excellent tutorials, a ruling pen may be what I need for something I am working on. A compass such as the one that you are using would be very useful for me also as I am working on wood which is often curved. My Jakar compass is OK (ish), but Rotring and staedtler compasses lose the radius often. Do you know the make of your compass and where you got it from please?
Glad you found it helpful. My compasses are made by a brand called Haff - sadly I don’t think they are making them anymore but you can find them on eBay. I also know a number of people who sell them on Instagram. If you would like their contacts please message me on Instagram and I can link you to them. I am @jeeamirza on Instagram
For those who may be curious, a couple of explanations. The reason for not dipping the ruling pen, and to ensure that there's no media on the outside surface of the pen, is simply so that it doesn't get on the straight edge, which will cause a mess. The reason for using a straight edge who's edge is raised off the paper is to avoid the possible disaster of the ink/paint contacting the straight edge as it goes on the paper. The capillary action that results will suck the ink/paint under the straight edge for the most horrendous splotches and generally ruin, almost irrevocably, a piece of work. Imagine having that happen on the very last line you draw, and the splotch ruin a number of nearby lines. But, note that it was normal to apply some drafting tape (low-tack masking tape) to anything that does not come with a raised edge by default. I still have a large 45 degree triangle with such tape along it's longest edge (spaced back by half an inch). Traditional mechanical drawing would mostly use India ink, which would be loaded with an eyedropper. It's a little quicker than the use of a brush, but I don't know that it would be advantageous over the use of a brush for small quantities of blended paint or ink. Wiping the pen after seems to work really well, even though it means an extra step. Cheers.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge...this is a very thorough tutorial and it is much appreciated ❤️
My pleasure - glad you found it helpful!
Cannot hear you well
Thank you 💕💕💕
You do have the fattest hands and wrists! 😵😵
'A long time ago' I was describing exactly what is here to every stationary, art and office supply shop and and off for nearly two decades. Probably hundreds of Jeeves, Dogpile and Google searches in the mean time. It's not been an exhausting trek or anything, it's just that I once had a project using fibre fine liners for so long that I tried to describe an invention I must have already seen in my moms stationary draw as a kid. Immediately before the internet probably. 'A fine metal nib, like a fountain pen, that is designed to be used in a straight line. i.e one that doesn't wear out and can be re-filled'. I always asked "What did they use to apply ink before these then?" *Hands over Rotring*. Not a clue, but neither did I, I just had this latent memory of that ruling pen with the circular adjustment screw and what looked like a pair of tweezers. Very confusing. Thank you : )
I think I used my Haff compasses or Rotring ones in this video.. Try searching for either on ebay!
Thank you so very much for your thorough and outstanding presentation. It provides an excellent description of the process and should be invaluable to anyone learning how to use shell gold.
Glad it was helpful!
Where did you get that compass? (The all metal one) What brand is it? Thanks 😊
Yes, also interested in this.
@@JeeaMirza thanks I’ll have a look
Tool
What an excellent video - thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for such a clear and informative tutorial! This was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
This video is a life saver 💓 One of my friends suggested me this video , and I am so glad that I watched this video ✨ The way you explain things is appreciatble. Thank you for the video ❤️
You're so welcome!
I've been looking at buying glassine paper and it is quite expensive. Is there any reason that greaseproof paper couldn't be used instead as it is much cheaper?
Hi - not sure about prices, I bought quite a lot a few years back from Jacksons Art Supplies in the UK and so not bought again. If you are struggling, suggest you burnish through a piece of fine tissue paper. I have used that before and get equally good results.
What a very clear and helpful video. Thank you so much for posting it. I usually water gild onto gesso panels so this technique of using shell gold on watercolour paper is very interesting to me. Particularly helpful is the technique of burnishing the paper which is a really new one to me. The second really interesting tip is the burnishing of the gold through glassine paper.
Glad it was helpful!
This is awesome!!!! Thanks! Question: I have some shell gold I was told I need to put gelatin, but I’m vegan… would gum Arabic make a good substitute?
Yes, absolutely - essentially the gelatine or gum arabic act as the binder which adheres the fine gold particles to the paper. Caution is needed though as you only need the smallest amount of gum arabic - too much and your gold will not shine. If that happens you can wash the gold out to remove the excess gum
Thank you so much for this video. My partner bought me a lovely compass so I could play a bit with flower of life designs and sacred geometry. It came with an attachment that I had no clue what it was for. I asked my mum who used to be an architects technician many years ago and she said it was for using ink but disnt know much else. Your video haa beautifully explained it all. Im really excited to try using it now! You look very skilled. Ill have to be patient with myself when I mess up to begin with. Thanks again. 👍
Can you please tell me from where I'll get that gold powder?
I believe you can purchase gold powder from Cornelissen's in London.
@@JeeaMirza but i live in india
amazed at the quality, thanks. do you happen to have used thick bladed ruling pens and is the method just the same please?
Hi Nix Thanks so much. I haven't really used ruling pens with bigger blades - I think they are used by calligraphers, but would love to give it a go one day!
Thank you! you're wonderfully informative and this solves some issues I was trying to get past!
Glad you found it helpful Michele :-)
Thank you. Enjoyed that very much. I worked with technical draughting pens etc for creating cartesian graphs for scientific res. paper publications before computer draughting/graphic software became the norm.. I loved the manual draughting. So this was terrific insight.
Glad it was helpful! Such a shame we have become so reliant on computers - I love creating using traditional methods!
thank you for posting, this has really helped me
You're so welcome! Glad it has been helpful
Thanks for this great video. Very clear and well explained. I am experimenting with masking fluid, sometimes called frisket. Have you ever used it in a ruling pen? I don't want to wreck too many brushes and wonder what tool I might substitute it with instead. Any suggestions?
Hi Kevin - thanks so much, definitely try the masking fluid with the ruling pen - I haven't used it so much myself but I know a lot of people do and it should work well. Added bonus is you won't destroy your brushes!
I'm a cartoonist who's just finished his first book, but had to use marker pens for ruled lines, which clashes horribly with the dip pen work on the rest of it. Can you please tell me where I can purchase these rotring rulers with the edges?
"quick" ≠ 23 minutes lol just call it a guide, not a quick guide (no h8)
20 minutes to learn traditional arts / crafts is absolutely a bite size / quick guide! But if that’s too long for you then this may not be for you 😅
great video, thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I didn't know this existed. Thanks!
