Hand-Painted Metal Jewelry with Patinas and Pigments

“It has been a pleasure being your teacher, thanks for the trust. I hope you have enjoyed the course a lot and that you can take advantage of the techniques you have learned to develop your projects and let your creativity run wild. Now we are going to review the key phases of the project so that you can share it with the Domestika community. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. Inspiration and sketches Look for inspiration in nature, in artists or forms that attract you, and make your sketches. Next, choose one, take it to a cardboard and cut it out.

Sheet metal When you have the design defined, gouge it into the chosen sheet metal, and file and sand the excess so that the metal is smooth to the touch and to the eye. Choose which part of the design will have texture and which will have color (remember that the contrast between color and polished metal is interesting). Texture and color First, apply your chosen texture to the metal. Then comes the time to paint the piece. Start by preparing the metal that you are going to give color to (it has to be degreased and sanded so that it holds the color well), choose the patina or technique that you liked the most. In a bottle (it can be plastic or metal) make your chosen patina and put the label on it, so you know which color you have made. Finally, paint the piece and wait between coats for at least 24 hours until you achieve the color you are looking for. Once you have it, apply lacquer or wax to it; wait a few hours for it to dry. Assembly When you have everything ready, you can assemble your jewel! The time has come for you to share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I'm looking forward to meeting your project! I look forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. See you in the forum! ”
