A Study In Rust

Corrugated panel is made from cardboard

Although my formulas for representing rust are similar they are never are the same, so I thought I would start to document my rust processes and decide which formula works best.

Color variations of rust can be found in variation of colors such as orenge for new rust too dark brown, for old rust.

Rust can be simulated by using paints, chalk, chemicals, a combination of these methods, and by using other substances like sprinkled cinnamon on a dark base background.

1. Brown base
2. Medium dry brushing of burnt sienna
3. Light dry of “walnut” stain
4. A few dollops of walnut, here and there
5. A black wash overall
