I am having some troubles painting verdigris on my models. My army is designed to use armour with gold and bronze, so the weathering effects have to be blue-green verdigris. I tried to do it by mixing green and blue colours with a lot of water and use it like a wash. But in the end it doesn’t look natural. Do you guys have any ideas or tips to share? :hat off (Rust is so much easier…)
I have found two guides online, but it didn’t help too much.
Mentioned should be:
1. I want to use this weathering effects only partial, not on the whole armour!^^ The guides I have found are mostly for whole model verdigris.
2. I only tried it on scale armour yet → this might be difficult underground…
Thank you in advance for any affort!
PS: If needed I could post a picture, but I won’t be back home before tomorrow evening.
I use this one. On bronze statues, armor and roof tops. I really like it. I use it both as a wash, hight light, drybrush and sometimes smeared on and partial removed with tissue paper.
I have done some verdigris on a few projects but a fair while ago, and following the advice etc that I found back then, I used old Citadel hawk turquoise
Figured I would mention Games Workshops verdigris color, its what I use, although its good to see other alternatives. I think Citadel’s biggest downfall is the pot, droppers seem much better and I will probably move to them in the future.
Ive bought GWs with the intention to use it on my undead Blood Bowl team, but haven’t dared to test it on a model yet. Id appreciate any tutorials or ideas you might find!
