I did this to a tree I had bought from Hobby Lobby several years ago. It was black with all coppery leaves. I used metalic paints made some leaves more orangey copper and some kinda turquoise green. I Still love it! I might paint it All white with brown wax on details.
Oh and I bent the leaves with my fingers, carefully, so they looked a little more 'natural, they were all flat and kinda pointing down, lifeless looking, I thought.
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I have a few fairly large pieces of metal wall art outside my home. They look like they have been clear coated at some point, and are beginning to peel. How can I remove the remaining clear without damaging the paint, and then what would you recommend to seal them with to give them a nice glossy finish?
