Give the dreamweaver paste a try. I think it might be similar stuff, I never bought any becuase of the cost and the fact I’d want lots of colours in it, when I found out I could colour tint the texture paste it solved the problem, just one jar and colour however much you like, whatever colour you like :)

Too hot to paint today, might do a little sketching later, if the temperature goes down. FOund a great piece of bark in the garden that I’d like to try to sketch/paint. Unlike flowers it has the advantage that it won’t wilt.

Think I’ll start a box of interesting things to sketch :)

Have a great day

Billie :)

It isn’t a quick look piece but a piece to look into and observe the shifting light over it.
I have many mud or masterpiece moments :) Quite often I will leave them alone on my desk and look at them from time and time before deciding whether they are useable or not – sometimes what looks awful can still be rescued by cutting it down and putting something else on top. The ones that are definitely mud I know straight away that they are rubbish and those go into the recycling immediately :)
I think you instinctively know if a piece is truly awful and beyond doing anything with.
These experiments of yours are truly inspiring and get the old grey cells working again! I haven’t got any ‘proper’ texture paste but wonde if the Dreamweaver paste used on the stencils would have a similar effect?? Well there is only way to find out :)
Hugs
