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
