Realistic more oxidized darker green verdigris shade so often seen on older corroded copper. Colour varies depending on how much is applied. Covers dark surfaces. Solvent based. Dries quickly to a very high matt finish. Opaque when dry. Colour forms as liquids dries. Water soluble – Washes off non-porous surfaces.

• Green Verdigris – more oxidized older, darker green verdigris often seen on old copper statues.
• A fantastic realistic verdigris effect for most situations.
• Can be applied over the top of dry blue verdigris effect to highlight areas.
• Can also be applied at the same time as blue verdigris effect. Apply green and blue verdigris effect in small patches allowing the edges to mix. This will dry in patches of green and blue verdigris effect shades.
• Verdigris looks best when thinned with water or Modelmates thinning liquid. Most corroded copper verdigris shades vary from very light to very dark. You can achieve this easily by applying wet patches of verdigris effect and patches of Modelmates thinning liquid and then blending them together.
• The effect is best and most realistic when applied to a textured or rough surface.
• Apply neat, straight from the pot using a paint brush or air brush spray.
• Thin with water or Modelmates thinning liquid.
• Apply to a non-porous surface such as plastic, let dry, and then wipe using a damp cotton bud or tissue (kitchen roll), to create great weathered effects. (Dye will permanently stain porous surfaces)
• Can be made permanent by sealing with a fine acrylic fixative spray. Apply fine, mist coats so as not to dissolve the dye. Test first because some varnishes change the colour.
