You decide! 🤷 Painting metal can be as complicated as you want it to be. If it's the focal point of your painting, give it a story: add imperfections, hue changes, texture variations.

You can fake it by adding some texture and highlights that match your overall light source, and it’ll still look great. Want to try it out? I’ll give you my favorite brush set to get started: https:/
