rusty affair

The process, the corrosion, is not a new discovery.
The orange-brown or green-blue colour can be seen on some facades or roofs. The natural coloration is caused by oxidation. The focus here is on steel or copper alloys. Corrosion, rust, oxidation, patima is the desired reaction.
As mentioned at the beginning, certain objects are deliberately used in such a way that the coloring can be used as an effect. but this has a rather comprehensive effect. By means of liquids you can use the colors more specifically or make them appear. What becomes difficult, on the other hand, is a kind of taming of oxidation. So it should only rust where I want it and know that with sharp ones.
here is my “first” attempt to see. As was to be expected, the paint protects the sheet from oxidation
pattern, colors and size are the variable ones that are changed.
In my second attempt, the motif is bigger. Here is the sequence from the image to the vector
I am quite satisfied with the result. I will keep the same procedure for the next shields.
