Patina - 9m Mandela Sculpture - Union Buildings - Pretoria - 2013

The Client wanted a multi-coloured patina so as to create more interest. This was achieved using cold patina application from the top down. The hair has a slight white over the bronze to achieve Madiba’s greying hair. The hands and face was treated a light brown with bronze high lights. The top of the torso (shoulders and arms) is verdigris green fading to brown in the mid section. This in turn gradually changed to dark brown lower trousers and ended in black shoes. This was then sealed with a layer of wax.
