Greenman patina moments after spraying with Ver-Day Patina
Final patina on my Greenman sculpture. Direct sculpt in polymer, patina achieved with Ver-Day paints and patina from Ten Seconds Studio
I still need to give it a dark patina to bring out the detail and then seal it. I have decided to create a woven wire collar and turn this into an elaborate neckpiece. More photos will be added later in the week.
As promised here is the progress on the Greenman and his Ver-Day Patina progress.
Here is the back of the piece. I textured it with a rubber stamp by Donna Kato. If I choose to use this in a neck piece the texture will give a nice feeling against the skin.
This is the back of the Greenman while the patina and paint are still wet and just starting to develop.
This is the face just after applying the Ver-Day Patina Solution.
And just moments later, while the Ver-Day paint and patina are still wet, the natural patina begins to develop right before my eyes! I love this effect and I am so pleased with the detail it brings out in my Greenman!
I just recently received a set of Ver-Day Paints and Patinas from Ten Seconds Studio. I am having the best time painting and patinating my polymer sculptures and wire work. I have so many ideas running wild through my head I don't know how I will ever get them all done.
Here is my first Greenman ever. I have wanted to create one for years and the thought of creating one with a verdi-gris patina gave me the final push I needed to just do it.
Here he is with his freshly sculpted leaves. Yes, I hand sculpted each and every little leaf and every tiny vein by hand. I am just crazy that way! I spent an inordinant amount of time sculpting the leaves and then arranging them onto his head just right.
Here is my Greenman with his Ver-Day Copper Paint. The paint has actual copper, metal particles in it so, when I spray it with the Ver-Day Patina solution it will develop a natural verdi-gris patina over the course of a few hours. Once the patina has developed I will be back to share the final results.
