Texture takes color beautifully.

I don't know that it's a win yet but I'm having fun playing with texture. I make my own texture paste out of Plaster of Paris, Elmer's white school glue, and acrylic paint. I also add resin dye to some of the paintings. And I usually spray the finished piece with Polyurethane spray to fix the colors.

Have fun. Love me some well-placed texture. I think that's why originals often have so much appeal to people. Even if it's subtle, we all appreciate that textured element.
