Use of prismacolor pencils on copper

2007

Hello

I have been searching for a detailed tutorial on how to use prismacolor pencils to color metal. I have recently been studying metal smithing and metal clay techniques and since my background is as an artist using prismacolor pencils I would like to begin to incorporate this technique in my new work. Can you point me in the direction of such a tutorial? I know that it is usually done on green copper, and in layers, but would love to find a full step by step tutorial on the subject.

Thanks!
