Stencil-Scraping with FANTASIA
With one of my 3 brand-new 9"x 12" stencils,
Fantasia
, I went back to an old technique that I've shown in earlier posts.
This technique works best with a thin but sturdy substrate that has a smooth surface -- like Lineco tissue and deli paper. (Note: Lineco tissue is much stronger than the tissue paper you buy to slip into gift-bags. Gift-wrap tissue will not work.)
Here, instead of Lineco tissue or deli paper, I used a pre-stretched canvas made by Fredrix especially for watercolor -- it has a very smooth surface, ideal for picking up detailed shapes in stencils with large openings. (Stencils with small openings will work, too, but not as well.)
The 9" x 12" stencil
Fantasia
looks like this:
