That’s so cool Pauline! I’m sure your expertise in painting faux surfaces is going to meld wonderfully with Tim’s techniques. Can’t wait to hear how it goes!

Ohhh Melanie I love your takeaways especially the part that says, “It sure does pay to play with your pastels” – yes!!

I think it could be applied to boulders and stones as well as concrete. Will definitely try this out. Thanks for your blogs. There is always a gem to glean from them.

I am keen to have a go at texturing to create a stoney effect- thank you!
Also found Ai Wei Wei’s sunflower story super interesting- thanks for sharing.

I’d like to try the splattering technique next time I paint a wall or a stone. Quite interesting. Great results!!

I’m really excited to give this a go. Many years ago I taught and was commissioned to paint faux finishes like marble, wood grain, sponged, ragged, and stencilled surfaces using acrylic paints and mediums. In the last 3 years I have discovered pastels and en plein air painting. I can’t wait to experiment with these methods in pastel – you’ve expanded my horizons!
