You can't see it on the photo, by the windowsill is almost 1 inch (2cm) in height off the canvas

Shucks, I can't peel off the paper lining from the foam board. Hopefully I can find a different type tomorrow.
Mea, I got mine from Fisher so you may want to avoid getting yours from there...
In the meantime Ill just enjoy watching the video 😊

[MaryAnne Long]

Thanks, Denise.

I just pulled some paper off the foamboard I bought at Walmart a while back.  Think that'll work for me.

I just watched Nolan's lesson on painting wood grain so I should do well on that part.

Thanks Mea! that's a relief - will go get a piece today.

Have fun painting wood grain

Denise, just use a little texture paste to get the grouting / cement effect

[Denise808]

Thanks Nolan, it was easy enough to get another piece of board. Now I'm all set...good to know about the texture paste just in case though.

[Denise808]

ugh! fooled again by foam board! lol. Well, the top corner of my new foam core board tore of easily - about 4 inches of it  .
So, seems I will have to resort to the texture paste after all Nolan 

[nolan]

hmm, not good, there must be two different kinds of foam board then

Anyhow just add a thin layer of texture paste and that will replicate the softer foam

  I'm about 2/3 done with the window project and realize I did it upside down! oh well...   

[Sherri]

Denise I know you can make that window work even if it is upside down!!!!   

[Denise808]

Yep, Sherri -- will just let everyone know they must stand on their head while looking at it

post what you have so far and let's take a look at it Denise
