I've seen and own some metal artwork, where the artist uses 1/8" steel
sheets and cuts out figures such as animals, trees, mountains and
etc... Then through a process of heat and chemicals, I assume, they a
add color to the metal. Shades of blues and browns mostly.

I'm attempting to doing some of this type of artwork, but I'm having
trouble figuring out how to add the color to the metal. I would sure
appreciate it if someone could steer me in the right direction.
Thanks, Wally

i believe what you are referring to is called Patina. you can achieve these
effects by applying live of sulphur or other chemicals. Actually you need
to figure out what kind of metal you are usuing. Because you can achieve
these effects by using faux patinas also. however, it is easier to do the
real thing. Just look up Patinas on the net and I am sure you will find out
something.
