Patina on Bronze Metal Sculpture

Cari Amici (Dear Friends),

I thought tonight that I might share more of my previous unveiling of the bronze patina process used on my newest figurative sculpture titled “Against the Dying of the Light.”

Last time you saw that in the beginning of the patination process, the bronze metal took on many mottled colors as it first felt the torch. But keeping the heat on and applying more of the chemical coloring (in this case, liver of sulfur) in a consistent manner gradually changes the metal.

He is coming along beautifully, this figure sculpture of a triumphant nude male.
