Okay, this is the last of this series for a while.  I have more boards & canvases that I put oxidized copper paint on, so they may return.  But, I feel finished for now.  What better way to finish off a meal than with a little heat?

Thank you for keeping me company on this exploration of oxidized copper backgrounds.

I found this interesting paint called "Metal Effects" from Modern Masters

This one is "oxidizing copper paint" which oxidizes when a "patina aging solution" is applied over the copper.  I experimented with several canvases using various applications.  

I then painted this little lizard over the patina copper canvas board.  But the background competes with the focal object for your attention.  He just didn't show up very well.

So I added the extra markings and outlined the little fella with a black marker.

I liked the way he turned out in the end.  I'm going to do more of these patina/copper canvases.

Thank you for viewing my paintings.
