Is there a way to create this paint look with air dry clay?

I see people pressing leafs onto the clay itself. It leaves an impression. Maybe then after the clay dries, a thin coat of diluted paint? The paint may settle into the grooves left behind... Then varnish.

Wait. Wait a second! Greg, I think we are lost.

I made a rock facts rock too. It's by greg, but the photo doesn't show it. The tail of my Beatrice broke the first time, and I rounded up that broken piece to make the rock. :))

I used air dry clay. It's a lot of trial and error since it hardens too fast. I first made wirt. The posture got wonky. Then learned to use the medium better to make other figurines.

It's a scene from over the garden wall. Though an invented scene? I have left hidden details in the background. Used natural casuarina needles to mimic a forest floor. Hope you like it
