HI Karen!
I like to use a luster dust and if you want to paint with it like the first photo above, Just add a little bit of clear vanilla extract or almond extract with the luster dust. Then paint as desired. Sometimes some decorators like to use vodka instead. But, I’m too cheap…lol Also, check out pastrychef.com they have gold sprays too and other colors. You can get lost there for hours. That store is like a kid in a candy store. Good luck!
