I love fight club film

Another my pop art design has inspired from Fight club film cased by two talent actors Edward Norton and Brad Pitt. I like them both, they both have such a outstanding acts leaded from at the beginning to the end. I watched this film several times. You know the film title says "How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?" and it makes you want to watch it and it worth it!! it is really good film written by Chuck Palahniuk (novel).

Yes, you can but gold paints are not resulting gold and will tarnish in a long term used, in fact that gold leaf can not be matched by any paint, it is essentially slight finish and it should be used as a final layer as gold leaf has always left actual perfect remote.


Painting with Gold Leaf by Klimt

The gold in Klimt's paintings is gold leaf, rather than the iridescent paints are available today.

"The Kiss is a discreet expression of Klimt’s emphasis on eroticism and the liberation therein. The Kiss falls in line with Klimt’s exploration of fulfillment and the redeeming, transformative power of love and art. The Kiss is deviant from Klimt’s frequent portrayal of women as the lascivious femme fatale".
