could anyone tell me how to color pewter, The artist Wyland does some fantastic patinaion with pewter and Bronze. Its some type of hot patina. I have heard that Nitrates will color the metal, somehow he achieves blues, greens, whits and other exotic colors. anyone have any ideas or what chemicals to use or any recipes? thanks Rock Rock@pewterbyrock.com

I have been trying to locate reference / text sources relating to techniques and tools used by the renaissance sculptors, but have not had much success. Does anyone know of such a book or article?
