Traci Bautista's Favorite Stenciling Techniques!

Hi, everyone! Traci Bautista here today to share with you some of my favorite stenciling techniques!

One of my FAVE stencil techniques is BLACK GESSO.
Use it as a resist or brush it through the stencil for a strong contrast!
Below is a piece I created with my Floral 2 Stencil and black gesso:

Something else I love is printing with stencils!
Below, I used my Circles Circles Stencil to print with spray ink,
Golden Open Acrylics, a water mister and brayer:

A third technique I enjoy is printing on plastic page protectors to create acrylic skins!
Here I've printed with my Floral 2 Stencil:

A fourth, fun technique is using spray inks through stencils!
The pieces below incorporate warm colors and my Journal Words Stencil:

I like to paint and print lots of papers to collage later into my mixed-media art!

These prints layer my Floral 1 Stencil and Circles Circles Stencil with inks and acrylics:

Even one stencil has so many possibilities!
Here are several printed papers with my Floral 1 Stencil:

Try just a using portion of a stencil to paint and print, too!
Here I'm layering blue inks and acrylics with my Soulful Scribbles Dots and Dash Stencil:
