Earlier, I've posted about a technique that I call stencil-and-scrape
-- on Jan. 4 , March 14 and April 2 --
where I've supplied numerous photos with directions.
This technique is simply a wet version of the rubbings technique; traditional rubbings are done with soft-lead pencil or crayon, whereas I use acrylic paint and an old credit card.
With masking tape, I secure a stencil to the work surface; then I tape a sheet of thin paper over that. After adding a few dollops of acrylic paint to the top of the paper, I scrape the paint downward over the paper, pressing evenly to pick up the patterns in the stencil.
Just recently I made more stencil-and-scrape papers using my 9"X12" stencil Twinship. Since I planned to use the finished paper in a multi-layered collage, I chose deli paper because it's thin; and its translucency allows underneath colors to show thru. Below is one of the completed papers.
After the paint dried, I cut the papers into shapes and added them to a collage on canvas, shown below. To better see the stencil-and-scrape papers, click on the image --
