When I received Jessica’s Born to Be Wild Animals stencil it reminded me of my daughter, not that she’s a wild child! That and she loves animals and has an incredible spirit. For this Design Team contribution I decided to make a canvas for my daughter Erin. Using three of Jessica Sporn’s stencils I created a bright, positive piece of artwork for Erin. I started off painting my canvas in bright colors, then I used a texture plate to add interest.
Next I used a reductive stenciling technique that gives a subtle and interesting look to the image. A little detailing with Stabillo pencils and water, and done.
Materials:
10x10 Canvas
Acrylic paints

This is so colorful, fun and inspiring. I haven't done reductive stenciling in so long! Thank you for reminding me about that technique! What a wonderful keepsake for your daughter. And I love the way you used aspects of different stencils to create something so unique. Well done!

ReplyDeleteI didn't know the name for this technique was reductive - makes sense! And is quite effective. Thanks for sharing.
