How to imitate a metallic surface with Lindy’s Gang sprays

Hi mixed media gang! Anastasia is here and this time I would like to show you my way of creating a surface that imitates a metal one. I have experimented with the copper surface, which I tried to make old and patinated, so I used brown, orange and blue colors.
