If you only wanted patina on certain areas, to give the look of something just beginning to age, is there a way that it can be applied more precisely?

[@brickintheyard]

Yes. There are two main ways to do that: 1 you can do what we did in this video, allow it to dry completely, and then dry brush more Copper B over the oxide, or 2. Apply 2 coats of Copper B, let them dry, and then sponge or brush on more Copper B in key areas where you want an oxide and apply the patina. The patina will only oxidize the Copper B that is still wet.

What would be a suitable base/solution to mix the copper powder into ? I'm looking to do a stone/concrete elephant in a green patina finish for my garden. I live in the UK so some things you use may not be available here. Thanks Carl

[@brickintheyard]

An acrylic base is what we are using here.

Was this casted from a real face mold, or from a sculpture?

[@brickintheyard]

This was a re-sculpt of my face from a lifecast mold done in 2003. Interesting trivia about this lifecast: this was done by some of the Barney The Dinosaur crew.

Brick In The Yard Mold Supply if you ever see them again tell them they're awesome because they created my childhood.

could that be applied on to foam tombstone?

[@brickintheyard]

Yes indeed! I will be posting a similar video of a finish we did on foam very soon.
