Paper Mache Animals - Easy Bronze Coating

Paper mache animals can be made to look like real bronze with this fast technique. But as my video shows, it isn't easy to control the spray patina, and you may have to fiddle with it until you like it.

You can see how the deer pattern is put together, and how it was painted with realistic colors, here: https://youtu.be/kuSpYAeeHt4

The rest of the animals behind me in the video are also made with my DIY paper mache patterns, and you can use the bronze coating on any of them, if you want. You can see them all here: https://www.ultimatepapermache.com/patterns

My deer head is now hanging next to an abstract painting my daughter gave me. If you'd like to see all of her awesome paintings, including farm paintings and portraits as well as abstracts, click here: https://jessierasche.com/

I've used the bronze coating from Sculpt Nouveau before, on my Ballerina Bunny. That time, I used the Tiffany Green patina and it wasn't nearly as bright as the Light Green patina that I used on my deer. You can see how it looks in this video: https://youtu.be/9TaK6Df8SWk

I've also used their iron coating - and I love it. The patina creates a much softer rusting effect on the nice black surface - you can see how that looks on my raven ( https://youtu.be/62jXcRSWDJk ) and I faked the same look with acrylic paint on my gorilla mask ( https://youtu.be/XBeZDLm26_Y ).
