If there is anything specific you would like to know, let me know and I can make a separate video and/or there might already be a video on the channel to fill those gaps. Thanks Mike. :)
This is the first video from your channel that I happened across. TH-cam isn't the best at bringing new channels my way from searches or watched/listed videos. I find narration very, very helpful. I figure, if folks don't want to listen, they can mute the sound. Lovely demonstration of a patine effect! Thank you so much for making this video available and for walking us through it!
Thank you. No nonsense and directly to the point, unlike others who blather on like late-night TV talk-show hosts as if they're famous. You might show the brands of the products you're using, however, and music is not necessary.
Why thank you very much Doc! Thank you for the prescription. :D I haven't put any videos up for a while, but will keep on talking. :) Hope all is well! :)

Ooooh have you thought this up yourself? Such an interesting technique, and with great results too! I’ve never come across this, and I’ve been slapping patina on everything that stands in my way for yonks. Lately I’ve been pondering over how to go about giving a couple of huge angel statues a weathered bronze look, and voilá your video pops up to save the day. It’s been a year since you posted this but I hope you never ditched the narration, it’s never stupid because it explains so much more than just pictures. Especially helpful for those starting out. Subscribed even for this video alone, but judging from the thumbnails I saw I’m going to have so much fun watching your channel. Thank you!
The techniques shown in the video are pretty common and widespread. Thank you for your lovely comment and I hope all went well with your project! Thank you for subscribing too! Very much appreciated! Have fun and hope all is well! :)
Great tutorial, I'm thinking of painting up a model and really like the green patina look. The lion looks great using this technique, I'll give it a try, thank you!
Thank you Debbie! I tend not to put painted pieces outside, but if I did, I would use automotive laquer, although there are many options. You will have to maintain pieces due to weather, etc, hence why I would prefer not to put painted pieces outside.
Very nice look❣️👍 Amazing how paint can make concrete look like metal. With the proper techniques, of course. I really appreciate the dry brush tips. I like your voice but either way is fine. Whatever helps you the most.
I think you're already an expert on the dry-brushing, Rozani! :) I'm thinking maybe setting the vids against some nice soothing music might be better and most of the stuff is self-explanatory. Folk can aske questions and perhaps some missed stuff can be expanded on in discussion/community, eytc. Cheers Rozani and wishing you well! :)
Thank you, Mark. Yep. People can always ask questions. It's certainly a time saver to use music only. Looking forward to another interesting year of your demonstrations. Cheers❣️
Thank you Kim. :) This is what I use mostly: Materials | Spray Lacquer: th-cam.com/video/fueJYTi8AMQ/w-d-xo.html You can put these things outside, but painted objects will wear away at some point and will need maintaining to keep them from nor wearing. Would be more suitable for inside. :)
Love Your Work, I wanted to ask how many quality concrete casts do you get out of your latex molds before you have to make new ones. Thank you again :)
@@dramamask I have done quite a bit of verdigris effect, reverse to this by copper coloured base then sponging and dry brushing the blues and greens over the top, wiping it in places…I like this better on this kind of piece, as you can target the ‘polished’ areas better, plus it’s a lot less work, but where you mentioned the two coats and flat colour, try sponging the base in two or three shades from green to pale turquoise before the dry brushing? To get away from a flat effect? Not tried, but might work.
@@Solitude11-11 Sounds good! If I am feeling more industrious, I'll merge dry brushing with washes which can turn out some great FX. :) PS: I did some vids a long while back using metallic paint with real metal in and then sprayed on some patina solution to give a real patina look. That is fun and you obviously get the authenticity. :) I should remake the videos as they are early videos and the quality isn't too special: Concrete Skull Painting | Reactive Bronze Metallic Paint With Green Patina: th-cam.com/video/lWllhfhmt-I/w-d-xo.html
Great job. Can I use acrylic exterier "spray" paint for base. I have a Buddha I want to paint the zap green for the robe and a tan color for the skin, what problems would I have besides being challenged at anything I try in art? ;).
I don't know, but I would guess the acrylic will be ok for a base coat. If you're not sure, test the spray paint on something before applying to your main piece. :)
@@dramamask It worked and looks good. I chose turmeric color for the robe and tan/gold color for the Buddha. Wife likes it so my life is simpler. :) Thanks for your comment.
I prefer it when you have narrated the videos. It helps me understand what you’re doing and what colors you’re using. Thanks for the videos.

Cheers John! I keep forgetting I mentioned background music in this video. Comments noted and appreciated! :)
Thank you, this is the easiest way I have seen to patina, well done. I prefer you talking than playing music for your videos.
I prefer your narrating. No need to give yourself a hard time mate. I appreciate your work and your words, jumbled and all. Cheers
Rock on and thank you for your comment! :)
I love your gorgeous voice! So yes! Directions and music n voice!🌺💖🧚♀️💖🌺👑🧚♀️🧚♀️👑🧚♀️
Why thank you very much Doc! Thank you for the prescription. :D I haven't put any videos up for a while, but will keep on talking. :) Hope all is well! :)
awesome work Drama, narration is great the way it is. keep up the great work....
Thank you Mike! :)
Great work.I just found your channel. I prefer prefer narrated videos over just music.Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the feedback! Much appreciated! :)
i love to do faux finishes I think the process makes things a lot more interesting. Good job.
its a great way to get the metal result dry brushing is so easy but so many dont know how to but they do now thanks to your posts
Thank you for your kind comment, Wayne! :)
Stunning looks like a real copper statue, Nice work.
I was going to do washes for my patinas but this method is far easier and looks incredible. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you and glad you found the video useful! :)
Nice work as always. Nice to see other people enjoying their work.
Thank you G R! :)
Thank you for this video. My first patina painting was a success. Would have loved to add a picture.

“..then you don’t have to listen to my *stupid* talking…”😂
Fwiw I found your narration helpful! 👍
I keep forgetting what I said in this video until a comment comes by mentioning it! :D Thank you for your comment and much appreciated! :)
I like it when you talk. It's easier to follow... so please don't change.
Thank you. I'll give it a go keeping the talking. :D

Thank you for taking the time to make this video! An you speak just fine! Love your accent! And you have a cat, awwwww....
Thank you Kitty! Yes, Astrocat is always around somewhere. :)
Nice copper effect..I must try this soon..I've been using drybrushed bronze effect on a black background but this is more striking
Cheers SRAI. I like the black basecoat effect too. :)
Lovely finish. I have just finished a green man in rust and patina and am very pleased with the result.
Thank you John and good to hear about your green man! :)
Thanks for sharing, very realistic. Love the feedback.
Thank you very much and much appreciated! :)
Exactly what I was looking for..... Thank you..
Like the real thing!😮 WOW
Brilliant! Keep narrating, please!
Thank you Carla! Looks look I might be narrating most videos again, although my channel is taking a nose-dive at present! :D
@@dramamask keep up the good work, it WILL bounce back. Your work and explanations are perfect! Don't lose hope, you got this sir!!
👍👍👍👍👍 just the tutorial I needed to see. Great video. Concise and easy to follow.
Thank you very much and glad the video was useful. :)
This is beautiful.
Thank you very much! :)
It looks legit brother 😎
Cheers Vick! Hope all is well at your end! :)
That turned out great!
Thank you very much! :)
Great tutorial, I'm thinking of painting up a model and really like the green patina look. The lion looks great using this technique, I'll give it a try, thank you!
Thank you and good luck with your projects! :)
Ok, so that was much easier than other videos I've watched
Piece of cake! Rock on! :)
Beautiful job. Could I please ask what would be best to seal it for outside use. Thanks
Thank you Debbie! I tend not to put painted pieces outside, but if I did, I would use automotive laquer, although there are many options. You will have to maintain pieces due to weather, etc, hence why I would prefer not to put painted pieces outside.
Thank you ! I’ve been struggling with getting this look for my school art project 😭
Thank you and very glad the video helped! :)
It's gorgeous.
Thank you! :)
Well done!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Think you sound great🇮🇪❤️
Thank you too! :)

@@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050 It's about making the videos better rather than saving any time. I'm always umming and aahing anyway. :D
I understand.
I like your "stupid" talking. You have a lovey accent. I think this is a wonderful technique, I can't wait to try it!
Thank you for your kind words and good luck with your projects! :)
Great finish can you please tell me what sealant you use? Can they be put outside?
Thank you Kim. :) This is what I use mostly: Materials | Spray Lacquer: th-cam.com/video/fueJYTi8AMQ/w-d-xo.html You can put these things outside, but painted objects will wear away at some point and will need maintaining to keep them from nor wearing. Would be more suitable for inside. :)

thanks for sharing Drama..... Bob/carveit
Hi Bob and hope all is well at your end! :)
Love Your Work, I wanted to ask how many quality concrete casts do you get out of your latex molds before you have to make new ones. Thank you again :)
If you look after them you can make 100s of casts before any wear. :)
Great effect, and easier than many! What is the copper paint, I couldn’t find it on your lists?
Thank you! For some reason and at present, it is hard to find the Liberon metallic paints on Amazon or Ebay.
@@dramamask Ah Liberon, I think I have used those before. Thank you!
@@Solitude11-11 They seem to be pretty hard wearing. I might try some other brands at some point, just to see. :)

keep narrating & what is the sealant?
What kind was the metallic paint?
It is Liberon copper paint. I wanted to link it in the description, but it doesn't seem to be on Amazon at present.
Great job. Can I use acrylic exterier "spray" paint for base. I have a Buddha I want to paint the zap green for the robe and a tan color for the skin, what problems would I have besides being challenged at anything I try in art? ;).

Narration is fine but 2 questions:
Can you name the paints you used and are they ok for an exterior statue.
Good
Cheers BD. :)
I prefer the narration
Thank you for your feedback! :)
Hi is the acrylic paint used suitable for outdoors?
It needs to be sealed to be used for outdoors
hi sir can you tell oss the colors name i see yo mixed white and grean what the other color
?
Just white/green for patina effect. Copper metallic paint for base.
I don't mind the voice over.
En Français merci
Feel free to translate.
Very nice work, why buy art when you can make your own.
Thank you and I love your attitude! :)
I would have painted black first. You lost a ton of detail that would have improved the look. Nice video. Thanks
Of course you would. Wouldn’t be a copper patina effect then. Cheers.
No music is best! I’d rather hear the teacher than music.
Oh gawd, I'm not a teacher, rather I just show folks how I do things - warts n' all! :D Thank you for the feedback! :)
@@dramamask aren’t you “teaching” your viewers how to do this technique?
@@jafallica I'm not instructing.
I think you mean a BRONZE look.. not copper.
Copper paint, mate! If I was using bronze paint, I would certainly title it as bronze! :D Anything else? :D
No, please. It's nice to listen to a narration. No music, please.
Thank you for your feedback! Much appreciated! :)
What is that😂😂
dont do the music thing I hate that1
Is that an order? 🤣
Don't put music to your vids, I believe it's better to hear you speak.
Not many people say that to me! :D Cheers! :)
