I have been trying some very complicated techniques without the look I wanted. Your video was exactly the look I wanted. I especially like the way you suggested spraying the patina in stages to customize the color to the piece.
The whole process was simple, straightforward and produced beautiful results. Thank you!

I watched a bunch of terrible videos on how to do patinas before I found this. Elegant, simple technique ... I never would have thought of using a little spray bottle like that. Thank you! :)

I used your technique to restore an aluminum sun dial. The results are fantastic. Thank you for sharing.

That looks awesome Derek really liking the results from all your painting techniques. Thanks for sharing with us =)

Really liked the video and music! You are an artist, so song and craft go together so well! I liked that it was short and informative without a lot of wasted time. I see a lot of uses for this very realistic replication of patina. Keep the good work going....

I've watched a few of your patina videos and this is exactly the look I'm after, so thanks.

Great tutorial! Looks very realistic! Since I'm make my my plaque out of 1/2" carved foam I'll have to brush coat the black and make sure I get good coverage so I don't have any issue with the spray eating the foam.

This is the most natural method I've seen so far. I want to try it on an old aluminium bucket but wondered if the paints would run with it not being able to be laid flat as this is.

I plan on using this technique for a poly ceiling medallion for my oil rubbed bronze ceiling fan. And for a mid-sized poly sculpture.

this is great. I play around with patinas and this is super easy. Good job.

Great Video! I'm going to try this on some wrought iron and metal pieces for outdoors. Can you please list the materials/colors/brands you use in the "Show More" space? I had to go back a couple of times to make sure I got it down. Thank you so much! And by the way... I found this looking for patina effects but also starting my first resin projects next week. I'm going to look at your other videos to see if I can find out if you buy or make your molds.

Looks great, when you sprayed the patina on, did u wipe any of it away ? Or did u leave all of it on to dry ? Thanks!
