There is currently a large selection of air-dry clays on the market. I think most of them are easy to work with and are fairly versatile. However, there is one that seems to stand out from the crowd for a multitude of reasons.
1) It breaks less. Something about the formula makes it more durable. It has a bit of give to it once it’s dry. 2) It seems to hold impressions a bit better than your standard air dry. 3, It feels lighter when dry than most. And my favorite reason of all, #4 . . . It paints almost exactly like watercolor paper!
