The next step is the application of the patina, or surface coloring. The patina is created using a variety of chemical salt solutions, and the help of high temperatures, which hasten what, is actually a natural process, yielding subtle to dramatic coloration. In many pieces, the bronze is polished to match perfect gold tones, which underline the elegance of the medium.
The final step, if called for, is to place the sculpture on a base, depending upon its style and size. The base can be wooden, natural stone or polished marble to optimize proper balance and presentation. The finished sculpture is a work of art, which will endure and bring joy into the lives of those who view it for generations to come.
