Wow. I don't know who you are but I am completely loving your scientific approach to patinas. Hugely helpful. You're also funny and you do great editing down so it's a pleasure to watch. Big fan. Thanks! Going to buy some copper right now for a 20x24 painting using your research. Wish me luck
Hello, An unsealed patina is often called a "living" patina... it will continue to change depending on the environment. It can rub off or be cracked if the metal is bent (although a sealed patina will also crack if the copper is bent). But where the patina comes off the copper will eventually change into a nice deep brown - complimenting the remaining patina. But, a stable patina will keep its colour for quite some time. Hope this helps? n.

Loving your content! It's helped me get a better understanding of patinas and why some of mine have failed in the past.

What happens to patina if it is not sealed at all? Disappears or develops further? Let us know, pls.
