Copper Flame Painting Demonstrated
Hello,
Just a little video to show how the colors are achieved in copper with a torch. There are 7 or so steps to follow to get to the point of flame painting. Once completed, several more steps are involved to get to the final product. It isn't easy, it can be an infuriating process, and it isn't even totally predictable due to atmospheric conditions from day to day. And yet, it's one of the most satisfying art forms I've ever attempted. I've not been at it for even a year yet.

My son, Aaron Jobe produced the video. I played the guitar music on a cigar box guitar I built. But Aaron is did the editing and production work all by himself. I am impressed with the final product.
Such a wonderful video, interesting and educational - Thank you so very much!!! From your experience, would you be able to recommend a clear coating that will preserve the colors to their true values? Thank you so much for your consideration.
It’s beautiful ❤
Pretty neat brother
Very cool John.
Awesome video!! Do you have a loop on the back of the piece of copper that the pliers are holding on to?
Good job, John. Nice video. Looks like we learned the same technique.

Thank you so much! I have watched so many of your videos and drawn inspiration from your work. We did indeed learn the same technique. Your kind words have me 10 feet tall and bullet proof this afternoon! I really love the work you do. We have family in Phoenix and hope to possibly meet you some day on our next trip out.
Hi John. Thank you so much for the in-depth video. If I can ask a question….if I decide not to put a sealant on the finished piece, would it keep its colours. I have some flame painted earrings I made that weren’t sealed and the colour has stayed but was I just lucky?
I like the hot smile at the end 😅
Mine keeps getting grey. What I’m I doing wrong
Are you using just an acetylene torch or or oxy & acetylene combined? Thanks for sharing!

Can you put it cold water to cool off like when you're blacksmithing?

Umm no. The o2 in the water will mess with how the colors do.
When you say your going to paint it after you already had your flame color. What are you painting it with and is that a final coat?

It's a clear coat. Try several different ones. Clear coat will change the color in that it changes how light reflects off that color. Some clear coats may have a touch of tint. So experiment and find one you like.
Is there a way to start over if you make a mistake?
