Artifact Patina Technique - Page 11


  • The finished patina! This is just the tip of the iceberg; there is no limit to the different patinas you can create. Any combination of patina chemicals, pigments and dyes will produce an endless variation of patinas.
  • We can’t stress the importance of experimentation! Many interesting patinas can happen when you are experimenting, but experiment on something that is not important and it is a good idea to keep track of and write down all your procedures so you can reproduce the patinas you like.

  • Also keep in mind that patinas can be unpredicatble - for example you may get a slightly different green from this technique in your studio than we did. This has to do with slight variations in product, varying application techniques and environment!
  • The Super Finishing Kit has a small amount of all the Sculpt Nouveau products and is a great way to get familiar with the results these products yeild.
