Introducing Max and Lana by Tracey Fairgrieve

11:00


Hello everyone hope you are all keeping well??

I've decided to have a break from sharing Christmas makes and introduce you
 to Max and Lana today, two newly released face stencils from That's Crafty!

If you have a love of portraiture like myself these will be ideal for you. 
Both stencils give you all the base lines needed to trace out the image 
leaving enough surrounding space to let your creativity transform the rest. 


Here's those *How to Do's*


Using a chunky pencil I traced through each stencil onto white/greyboard panels.

The thickness of the pencil and depth of the white/greyboard helps you keep those guild lines, lowering the risk of you losing them under your chosen mediums.






Here's Max..


The skin tones have been created using That's Crafty! paints, mixed 
on to a craft mat and applied directly onto the stencilled out image.
*see colours below*






The background was built up around him using the new Ocean paint and 
Webbing Mini Stencil. Streaks of White paint added to his hair help mature him, 
making him look quite distinguished. Finishing off my Max panel with some dots and dabs of watered down paint.






Next comes Lana with her side sweeping hair style. She too has been completely painted using That's Crafty! paints, adding highlights within her hair using the metallics.






Laying the stencil back over the top I again traced through with the pencil to 
bring back any definition in the hair that may have been hidden during painting.

A touch of Shimmer Pink paint gives gloss to those lips and a dab of Pearl
paint heated with a heat tool replicates a single pearl earring.

My Lana portrait panel is complete.






Both stencils are fabulous additions to the That's Crafty! brand
which I know you will enjoy using as much as I have.

Have a great day everyone and
Thank you for sharing a little piece of it with me!

Warm Hugs & Creative Wishes

Tracey xx
