...hi blaga textures are great fun to do ... thanks<br /><br />tricia ..i'd loved to try cheesecloth must be beautiful to work with ..will have to get hold of some ... i like tissue paper have made quite a few swatches with white and coloured tissue in the past ...have recently prepared off cuts of watercolour paper with tissue paper and mount board with gesso to play with...Ann Blockley's book on texture is a super reference and inspiration .JANE MINTERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12753128396478756721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6341704894932996395.post-92202421327659619492012-04-12T10:44:55.137-07:002012-04-12T10:44:55.137-07:00I'm enjoying the experiments on your

Template maybe? Will it pick up when the paint dries without damaging the paper? One experiment always leads to others.
