Hi Lori......The following is a formula I learned, from famous oil painter Helen Van Wyk, for painting copper which has worked wonderfully well for me.............

Body Tone (Base Tone) : mix  Burnt Siena, Cadmium Red Light, bit of Black and White

Body Shadow : mix  Burnt Sienna, Alizarin Crimson, Thalo Blue

Highlight: mix white, Cadmium Red Light, Cadmium Orange

Darker Reflections : mix Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber

Light Reflections : mix Cadmium Red Light and light gray (black / white mixed)

Good Luck !

I think you will need cad yellow light + white for the highlights?  ..It looks like copper to me Lori.  :))
