"Statues - what color to use?" Topic

I want to paint up a greenish statue and am looking for suggestions on what color to use. Here's the idea of what I am looking for.

and

Any ideas on pre-made paint or mixes others have used would be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.

I would spray undercoat it with a Krylon camouflage olive, and drybrush it with Delta Ceramcote Wedgewood Green.

I often start with a base coat of dark brown and dry brush over that with 3 to 5 gradually lightening shades of green. Selecting good shades of pale green is really the key to the proper finish.

How about green?

I basecoat white (if you basecoat black, you'll probably have to drybrush or undercoat white, anyway…), undercoat with teal or turquoise or a custom-made blue-green, depending on whim and time, then drybrush Bronze (I use Ral Partha's old Bronze paint – I really like the "not gold" look), to get a "it's not *all* corroded" look. Then I wash with another blue-green (sometimes I make my own and add a touch of grey, sometimes just dilute a teal right out of the bottle). Varying the dilution of the wash gives more verdigris (older statue) or less (newer statue, or just cleaned more recently).

and don't forget the odd speck of pigeon poop!
