Two Stenciled Prints, Further Developed
In one of my March 29 posts, I showed multiple steps taken to create a print with my 6"X6" stencil
Bamboo Wall
and my 9"X12" stencil
Two Fans
.
Below is the
Bamboo Wall
print as it appeared at that time:
I could've stopped here. But I decided to continue working on both pieces, first dribbling tar gel across the surface
of both the fans (shown below, cut out) and the bamboo (not shown) --
After the tar gel dried, I made three separate glazes of liquid gloss medium mixed with three colors of acrylic paint. These mixes were painted over the above prints, one color at a time, with dry-time between coats.
Then I cut out the smaller of the two fans and used it on the cover of a 6"X6" greeting card --
I also scanned the larger of the two fans, cut it out, and adjusted its color in Photoshop, with this result:
Next, I scanned my
Bamboo Wall
print and, likewise, altered its color in Photoshop:
Despite the altered colors, the squiggles of tar gel and the additional glazes are visible when you click on the above image to enlarge it.
