Stencils

Over at Paper Artsy the current challenge is to do something with stencils. So I thought I would join in the fun and did this page in my art journal.



I used a flower stencil with acrylic paint but in reverse so that you get the negative image.  For the girl I used Stabilo All pencil and a water brush and oil pastels for her face.

Why not pop over to the Paper Artsy blog and take a look. There are some inspirational videos and a  load more inspiration from featured artists.

THANKS FOR VISITING.

  1. An excellent page Carol. I really like how you used the stencil. I never seem to have success trying to get the negative, but yours looks fab. Your girl looks very regal with her crown. Have a good week ahead :D x

  3. I always think how brave people painting faces are, your lady has got a definite worried look but she looks great!
