I have a “what I did” in my attempt to simulate tree bark at:

Thank you if you visit

Good job , doing what you needed to do ! Came out looking really decent , even close up.
While yours do look good, it reminded me of a previous thread with a connection to something an author claimed as “bark in a can”. He used textured spray paint to create “bark” on a stick. I did a search here and on the layouts block, and finally searching my own private files to see if I had saved a link to it. I had. Some may remember this, and some may find it useful.
…have a good day.
Wonderful work.
Nice! how did you do it?
Harold, that is nice bark. Thanks for sharing. I need to try that on the bottoms of some of my forground trees.
Galaxy, thanks for the link. However, though the trees discussed in the artical are interesting, the ones that made the scene look good were not made that way. He used “filter on a stick” trees and has some that were made from weeds. His downed tree was “sticks in a dowel”. I think what made his scene good was the variety. His “quicky” trees were fast, but mostly useful for filler. I thoght the ones that used micro fiber looked better up close.
Tried that stuff from that article and it doesn’t produce a real texture, more of a motley paint effect.

Very nice and realistic, Howard. Thank-you for presenting it to us.
Harold,
Great example of decomposition. I think that I will try your process on some of my real sticks.
Thanks, Sue
Nice job Harold… I bought a can of Plasti-Kote Stone Touch in Michaels to simulate tree bark. I havent made any yet but did test it out and it looks fine for me.
Nice work!
