Rusted Metal

This is how I render rusted and corroded metal surface: Start with a base layer of French Gray (70 or 90%). Overlay a rough layer of Dark Umber, but do not blend just yet. Overlay again with a layer of Chocolate (again, roughly), and blend as needed with Colorless Blender to take off the rougher areas. For areas of less oxididation, interspersed patches of Sienna Brown can accomplish the effect just fine. For more advanced corrosion, add a patch layer of Cool Gray 90% to the Sienna Brown patches (again, this doesn't have to be precise) and coming back with the White pencil to add the highlights of the bubbling-up corroded surface texture.

After looking through your art, I am very compelled by your subject matter and composition. The sinister yet mysterious feel of each piece is very grabbing. I love your technique - each piece is different, but your style ties it all together.

Thanks everyone...I've got these up on my website (I really need to remember to include links when I submit these things) along with some prints and events and other such fluff. http://www.schamballah.co m
