3 important questions on Materials, Techniques and Processes - Sculpture - Bronze: timeless and dark
How can bronze be cast?
By first building up the desired shape with a soft substance, creating a mold based on that and then pouring in the molten bronze.
What is the patina that often appears in bronze statues?
Patina is generally the blueish discouloration in bronze artworks that appears due to weathering, and it can be used to generate depth and texture.
Why can bronze statues stay upright with relatively very small bases?
Because the bronze alloy allows for both high-tensile strength (flexible, does not break easily) and high compressive strength to support heavy weights.
