But even if it is dry it's possible. I will use a brush and dip it in some water, wet the spot and blot it up with a cloth, (paper towels leave bits of fiber) and repeat. I let the area dry completely before I attempt to repaint it. But the down side is, the paint can lift off when you don't want it to! That's what I find I run into when I'm laying in a large flat area and trying to blend the colors. I have to let it dry and not keep overworking the area. <br /><br />I love rocks and trees because of the great textures. I loved the rocks when I first saw them at Larrabee State Park and knew I wanted to use them in my work. Then I googled them to see what they were! The tafoni website is amazing, (under #10 photo the word tafoni is a link to the website). This area is so new to us and we don't get around as much as we would like to. (work, weather, life) But we do want to get back up there. We love the area north of here, beautiful country!Barbara A.

One question...this is coming along nicely Barbara. One question, when you said you wiped off the paint in the part that was too dark, is it tricky removing acrylic paint or was it still wet enough?Mona Diane Connerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022399915344870046noreply@blogger.com
