Hi everyone,
Here are the images from last Thursday's demo... first, a painting painted on hot-press watercolor paper, which is very smooth.... or maybe this was the back of some ordinary watercolor paper. The paper has no teeth for the pigment to adhere to, so a paper towel can take a lot of the paint away.
Here is what happens when you crumple up a sheet of printer paper and press it down with a weight onto sedimentary paint - was this the printer paper?
When you crumple up a corn chip bag -
Here is an indigo sky painted over a moon-shaped cut-out, with the moon then printed through a hole in a mask. The sky has a brushed texture, the moon has a texture produced by a piece of paper towel rolled for a minute between the hands into tiny little wads. I think.
... and at the bottom below is the mask used to paint the clouds but not the moon, sitting on larger moon-cut-out mask used to paint the moon...
There could easily be a dozen other ways to add texture to sedimentary tints. May your research bring wonderful discoveries!

Those mountains in the first image look pretty good, but I cannot unsee the blue cat sitting on top of them. His left ear is in shadow at the upper right, the right ear in sunlight further to the left , he has an eye in and nose between them. He's got a dark back and a light belly and way at the left end you can see his butt and the beginning of his tale.
