Painted Ceiling Medallions, Easy DIY painted bronze finish

I work with a local interior designer occasionally for painted projects 

or makeovers she needs. On this job she needed these 3ft diameter

ceiling medallions painted in a bronze finish.

She contacted me to paint them before they were installed so

my neck was happy about that!

This was a quick project.

I started by spray painting a reddish brown base coast.

When that was dry I applied watered down

black paint and used a brush to get in all the nooks and crannies

then wiped away the excess with a soft cloth.

This is one of them after the black paint had dried

When all was dry I dry brushed with a muted gold metallic paint.

In this pic, the bottom one has been brushed with metallic, 

the top one has not

They look much better than my phone pics are leading you to believe!
