5 Just-Released Stencils and Masks!

These five brand-new stencils and masks are --

s658 Garden at Nemours.....6"x 6"
l675 Longwood Florals Mask.....9"x 12"

L678 Winter Berries Stencil.....9"x 12"

 Today's post will show samples of art made with each of these new stencils and masks.
l675 Longwood Florals Mask

 The artwork above is ready to be framed.  Its background is an old encyclopedia page that has a floral design in the upper right.  Glued over that is the mask itself, stained with paints after being used in a variety of art projects.

L676 Longwood Florals Stencil
Above is a double-print made with the same stencil.  The first print was made with yellow acrylic paint on a yellow-orange background paper.  After that dried, I placed the stencil back on the paper, spacing it so that it would be somewhat off-key with the original print.  Then I used purple acrylic paint to make the second print.

 The artwork above was created on an old sheet of paper that had been printed and over-printed several times.  I could have used a Gelli Plate to make the topmost print with this new stencil, but instead, I decided to place the stencil onto the paper and go over it using a sponge brayer loaded with heavy-body acrylic paint.  The next 2 photos below show my process ....

 The art below was created with Golden high flow acrylics on a Fredrix Watercolor stretched canvas.  I prefer this type of stretched canvas because it has a smooth surface that picks up even fine details of a mask or a stencil.

s658 Garden at Nemours

Like an earlier example in this post, my artwork above was created on an old sheet of paper that had been printed and over-printed several times.  I could have used a Gelli Plate to make the topmost print with this new stencil, but instead, I decided to place the stencil onto the paper and go over it using a sponge brayer loaded with heavy-body acrylic paint.
