The twelve butterflies are the leftovers from my previous butterfly canvas artwork! Instead of keeping the canvas plain white, I decided to practice the Gelato Drip Technique! Hmm, it worked out quite well!
I thought I could enter this project to Simon Says Stamp’s Current Challenge-Paste. I used stencils to make these 12 butterflies, and some of them used Embossing Paste and Gesso. They definitely all look textured! The following are some close-ups of them!
I think now I am addicted to not only stencil art but also Gelato!
這12隻蝴蝶是上一份蝴蝶帆布作品剩下的，這次Helen不想讓背景一片純白，想玩一玩現在很夯的流水技法(Drip Technique)。只要是水性顏料都可以玩這種技法，而這次Helen使用的是Gelato。要讓顏料順利往下流，訣竅是必須在卡紙或畫布上先塗上一層Gesso，等Gesso乾了後，才能塗上水彩或Gelato，然後噴水，就能順利產出如流水般的背景了！
