In the tutorial below I show you my 10 favourite TEXTURE TOOLS and I hope it inspires you to look around your house, kitchen, garage etc to find some cool tools too! (I would love to see them too, so don’t hesitate to send me a picture!)

I did this tutorial in oils and cold wax medium (Gamblin) but of course you can use these texture tools too when painting in acrylics and water based cold wax medium (Powerwax from Powertex). My favourite tools are:

  1. Palette knife

  2. Stencils

  3. Stamps

  4. Embossed wall paper

  5. Brush cleaner

  6. Baking/kitchen tools

  7. Tissue or Lace

  8. Broom

  9. Paper coaster or dolly

  10. Roller Pin
