Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, step 1b, applying gold over natural lacquer in sections

This step shows the application of gold over red lacquer. This bowl is large with a lot of seams so I am doing it in sections. This is step 1b on this page, https://zac.wnz.mybluehost.me/website_a640e8d6/?page_id=225

Traditional, lacquer based kintsugi, step 1 on Karatsu katakuchi, applying red lacquer.

Apologies for the poor sound quality.

This step shows the application of red on a Karatsu katakuchi in preparation for gold.  It is cold in my studio so neither the brush nor the lacquer cooperates in application.
