Rusting Copper

Moving from the highly reflective and complicated chrome faucets to the rusting copper pipe was quite a shift in gears. I found the texture in the rusting challenging, but intriguing. Working in layers proved to be the most advantageous. I started quite dark and then added layers of blue and green mixed with ochre.

I really enjoyed painting this.
