Hello! Welcome back to the BPM blog. Today's project is about using metallic watercolors with stencils. I hope you like it.
I used the following items on this project:
- Blank Page Muse Sunflower & Dragonflies stencil
- Black watercolor paper trimmed at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
- Metallic watercolors
- Paint brushes, size 2/0 and size 2
I temporarily adhered the stencil to the black watercolor paper panel.
I applied the metallic watercolor paint to the black watercolor paper using the stencil openings as guide to where to apply the paint.
I played with the colors doing some ink blending on the wings. I used the larger brush to paint the dragonfly's wings and the smaller brush for the dragonfly's body.
If I feel that the metallic paint is not enough, I added more pigment by directly painting over the area.
Since I will be painting more dragonflies, I dried the painted dragonfly with a heat tool.
I positioned my stencil where I want the next dragonfly to be painted on.
The great thing about using paint with stencils is that I did not have to clean the stencil in between painting since I almost am not touching the stencil with my brush except for the intricate areas of the dragonfly's body.
Another great thing about using stencils is that you can flip the stencil and you will end up with a totally different design. The dragonfly's body is curved the opposite way when is is flipped.
I repeated the process all over again until I filled the whole canvas with dragonflies.
I added dots of watercolor paint to fill in the open areas between the dragonflies.
I have no plans on what to do with this panel at the moment but this is ready to be added to a notecard. I can add a sentiment to make it personalized if I want to. I can also use it to embellish a layout. Or I can just frame it for display.
I hope you give this stencil technique a try.
