Copper Patina is a mix of paints and finishes:
*we’ve listed them in order of application 😉 & happy to report if you are doing a medium sized dresser like the one pictured, then you will have left overs. You will use more black paint than anything else.
DIY Paint Cottage Color - Anvil
DIY Paint - Pennies from Heaven
Pentart Antiquing Gels - Olive, Patina Green & Patina Blue
DIY Paint Big Top
First paint your entire piece black (Anvil).
Then start adding the copper, is a stippling motion like you do when using a stencil. Up and down, changing how you hold the brush often so you don’t create a pattern. You want this very random, only cover 3/4 of the black.
Next add the darkest antique oh gel, olive, again in a stippling motion. Not all over just around the edges, you will cover 3/4 of the copper.
Next use the patina green antiquing gel, covering 3/4 of the green. You will continue stippling. If you find you put too much on, you can quickly wipe it off with a dry rag.
Lastly you’ll add the patina blue, maybe only cover 1/4 of the previous. This one you want to make sure it is in the cracks and crevices mostly.
I find it helpful to Google Copper Patina before I start so I can see what it looks like naturally.
