TEXTURED TREES

This is very experimental....on heavy card...I made my own texturing modeling paste...and I hope you can see the textures on this.
I used the Elegant Writer Pen and Acrylic Inks and Derwent Watercolor Pencils.
My formula for the modeling paste was(Give or take a little) ...approximately 4 Tablespoons Baking SODA, 1 Tablespoon Gesso, and 1/2 Tablespoon Mod Podge. You can always add a bit more baking soda if it is too thin. Let dry before applying colors.
