Does anyone have a substitute for the Floquill products Driftwood, Walnut and Pine Staining.  In the past, I have used these products.  However, my bottles of products have dried out and I need to replenish my stock of paints.  I look forward to your suggestions.

I am having difficulty in coming up with a color formula for a rock formation which I created. The color that I desire is more of an orange brown (see picture below). This scene was taken on a vacation to Colorado.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here In Australia we have Agnew's Water Putty which is identical to the American product Durham's Water Putty.

The manufacturer recommends you mix it mix it three parts putty to one part water. I never measure exactly. Near enough seems to be good enough. It dries rock-hard and it can be sanded and sawn.

You can add acrylic paint to it as well, but in my experience doing so actually hastens the drying. The normal working time of 30 minutes is reduced significantly. This is contrary to what it says on the label, but I swear it's true.

***Revised 2/20/14*** My grand experiment is finished - printed backdrop it is!  See my latest post on this thread.

***Revised 2/17/14*** New painting with less of a yellow tint - see the latest posting at the end of this thread. *** Revised 2/16/14***  Please see my latest posting at the end of this thread where I have attempted to paint a backdrop using both an airbursh for the clouds and distant hills and using a brush for closer tries following Chris Lyon's technique.  Please give me your opinion.  Thanks!
