Rust & Patina Heart (canvas wrap) copper patina I made sure it wasOn the original version of Rust & Patina Heart I started with a black background and let it show through at the edges. I then used acid oxidized iron paint to make the rusted finish. Finally I added the splash of patina following the shape of the heart for an added layer of movement and color. This reproduction can be embellished in either copper or silver colored raised metal. It is available in 4 sizes. *Brian Rust & Patina Heart is a one of a kind
