Paper experiments


This is the ferrous powder and oxidising patina


Results on different types of paper



black card - hard to see and takes a very long time to see results. paper also warps alot


thick yellow card - the card doesnt soak the patina well and as a result creates small puddles that distort the silhouette of the object



Tissue - the tissue is too absorbent and the rust bleeds out too much


tracing paper - does not absorb patina well enough and dries too quickly


plain paper - warps a little but the results are easy to see and the patina is absorbed quite well


300gsm watercolour paper - absorbs the patina well and keeps the paper wet. due to its thickness does not warp much and also shows the result very well. (Winner)
