I finished off the Guardian sculpture today. The paint had dried so I went over it with some bronze paint by brushing it over the cracks and ruffs of the clay giving it the look as though it had been rubbed off. I put a little bit of paint onto the brush, painting off the excess on some paper before putting it onto the sculpture. I thought this effect would work best as too much of the paint would look weird and blotchy where as this looked worn and gently brushed on.
