    I've never used a commercial solution to achieve a brown patina on
    copper, though I've achieved great results from a common grocery
    store item: peanut oil. Just brush it on (or spray it with one of
    those nifty pump atomizers for cooking oils) and take a nice, bushy
    flame to it. Bonus: it makes your studio smell like popcorn.
    Mmmmmm....
