Welcome to the StencilGirl Blog Hop with Traci Bautista's new stencil line!
I received the Flower Party stencil to play with, which is perfect for me because I love to paint flowers!
I began by prepping my 12x24 canvas with a layer of Golden Fluid acrylic Naples Yellow paint and dabbed Titanium White through the stencil. After that dried, I used a combination of Color Shine, Adirondack and Tattered Angel's Chalkboard sprays and made lots of layers and drips as seen below.
I added drips of Daler Rowley india ink in grass green. This is one of my favorite supplies of all time. I adore the vivid color the inks give and the bright green just pops off the canvas!
I used the drips from the top to "create" my vase and painted it in with raw umber and gray.
I have been on a kick lately of NOT using my brushes as much as possible, because I love the organic feel it gives to my paintings. I used my fingers to bring out, define, highlight and shadow my bouquet.
Here is the final result.
Some close ups:
Here is a picture of the supplies I used ~ most of which can be found here.
Hope you enjoyed this flower party and got some ideas stirring for another way to use Traci's stencils!
