Pour Dip Art with Stencil Overlay



I have never worked with stencils in years but love the way they can enhance a dip pour.  Especially
like the first one that was a total dud until it was stenciled.  

I sell the stencils on my Etsy site and the new Dynasty Duo red handled stencil brushes are WONDERFUL......  Good tools are so important with art.

Christmas Card 2018

Image
This is going to be my Christmas card for this year and then I will probably mat and frame.  Some abstract art I like and some I don't.  Some of the pieces I pour just "aren't" so I lay them aside to use in some other form of art, the others I mat, and if they are really neat like this one I may mat and frame. The first thing that I saw when I finished the pour dip was The Three Wise Men....  There are times that I reserve back ones that I like....they say art finds its home..

Stencil Cleaner

Image
Stencils are so fragile....and with many techniques they "take a beating".  I am pretty religious in cleaning them but sometimes.....I forget, too tired, etc.  I use a lot of modeling paste for dimension and when it hardens it is like a rock....   I LOVE Awesome from Dollar Tree, a nail surgical brush which is sooooo soft and I let the Awesome set on it for a bit then I scrub gently; both sides.  Sometimes I need to do it more than just one time but it has never let me down.   I SELL THE BRUSHES IN MY ETSY SHOPPE.

Stencil Fun

Image
Beginning a new stencil project for a Christmas gift if it turns out. In the first picture I used: Canvas Panel Mars Black Paint Stencil Brush I swirled my brush with the paint so that I got a little bit of texture here and there.  I also noticed that when the light hits it you can see the swirl pattern.. Since my stencil is a circular design I thought I would try base coating in this manner.    I am going to be using several different paints.  The shift paints in several different colors, silver paint, and  a medium green color.  I also have a Green Iridescent that I might incorporate.   The recipient is color blind but green is green for him...so I want to use several shades of green in the piece.  What he will see will be different from what I see...... Should be interesting.  I am not sure how it will end up.  Just know as the steps complete.   The Stencil is by Stencil Girl and is a Mod Abstract Design.   Stay tuned to see the progress.
