What materials do you use in your paintings?

I paint with mostly acrylic paint but I also use plaster and wood stain in some pieces to obtain the subtle colors and tactile surfaces that I so love.  In the past, I've experimented with bleach, vinegar, and even tea, to create the right combination of raw and refined that embody my work.
