Hasta La Motion!

Hey Guys, I did a quick search and dont think anyone has asked this yet (sorry if it ends up being a re-post :/) I am doing some wire removal, and need to paint some bits out. I was hoping to use the QuickPaint clone tool, and wanted to make it so that wherever I painted, it created an alpha (so I can mix it back in with grain later on).

In the past, I have always use a common node to create an alpha, however I was hoping to be able to use my paint strokes and keep the detail around the edges.

Any suggestions?

thanks so much!!
