 Traditional bronze patina - ( A )

                                                                                            
 
A traditional bronze patina colour to the bronzes is usually achieved by painting on a chemical solution to the whole bronze casting whilst the bronze is cold. The weaker the solution the lighter the colour, when the correct colour is finally achieved to the sculpture, the bronze is heated up with a gas torch and melted wax is then painted on to the bronze to seal in the colour, the sculpture is then allowed to cool slightly before it is finally polished with a soft brush and cloth. 
 
           
  
  

Coloured Bald Eagle  - ( B )        

 
In the case of the Bald Eagle to try and achieve a similar 'bald eagle' look without painting the sculpture, i.e dark body feathers, a lighter coloured head, tail, feet and beak, this can be achieved by applying with a brush a much stronger chemical solution to the body of the Bald Eagle which will  achieve the almost black colour required for the eagles body feathers. A much weaker solution to the head, tail, feet and beak is then applied to the bronze for the lighter colours.
 
 
 

  Painted Bald Eagle - ( C )

 
To achieve a similar, but possibly more naturalistic appearance to the Bald Eagle this can be achieved by painting the bronze using acrylic paints and then wax polished. As before the almost black colour of the eagles body feathers is produced by painting on a stronger solution of the chemical and sealing the bronze with wax. Once the sculpture has again cooled down from being heated with the gas torch, the bald eagles head, tail, feet and beak can then be prepared for painting. The painted area on the bronze has to first be sealed with a metal primer before the white and yellow acrylic paint is applied, the whole sculpture is then given a final polish with wax. 
 

Although each of the sculptures are hand finished, colours of the patina's etc, may still vary slightly from one bronze casting to another.
