Rust Tutrial (1 of 11)

Okay, so here's how I go about rusting stuff. This is neither my best work (the stopping to take photos really threw off my work flow) nor the best choice of subjects. Not sure why I decided rusting a bit of wood was the best idea. But anyway, his should be informative. I usually do a lot more back and forth but I tried to do it step by step this time instead of jumping all over the place so I could document it a bit better.

 

The are my materials:

 

two ratty bits of sponge

two old gnarled brushes (one large one small)

a wadded bit of paper towel (or two)

a bowel of baking soda

a bowel of talc

 

Paints:

 

black

white

metallic silver

red iron oxide (this is the primary "rust")

antique gold

toffee brown

translucent orange
