Looking for a product that achieves the BEST (and most realistic) Verdigris effect with the least amount of effort? Well, you’ve found it!
Before use: Thoroughly shake the pot with the ball bearing rattling and thoroughly stir inside the pot with an old brush until all the lumps are gone.
For best results the pot and the surface being painted should be at room temperature or a little warmer. The colour could dry dark if the surface is too hot or too cold. Tip: keep the pot in your pocket against your skin for an hour before use and shake regularly with the ball bearing rattling. Repeatedly stir and shake the pot until all lumps have gone. It is very difficult to remove the lumps if the liquid is cool or cold.
Brush Application
- Dip the brush and immediately apply to the surface. For a patchy effect dab the paint onto a surface and keep dabbing in the same place until the paint dries. Any number of coats can be applied in this way. For a more even effect paint an even coat onto a surface. A dry, damp or wet brush can be used
- A different effect is obtained depending on whether a soft or stiff brush used to apply the paint.
- Fine Soft Brush: For very detailed work. Apply a small amount to the brush and apply directly to the surface.
- Larger Soft Brush: For apply larger amounts to larger areas. For a darker shade apply larger quantities and for lighter shades apply smaller quantities.
- Stiff Brush: Very light shades can be obtained by dabbing a very small quantity of paint onto a surface using a stiff brush. Allow the paint to dry slightly on the brush for a very light effect, similar to the “dry brushing” painting technique.
