Playing with Gelato and More Stenciling Art


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!
