I am thinking if securely placed on your canvas, a stencil would work as well as opposed to drawing out your leaves free-hand? What are your thoughts on using a Stencil Gwen? I like the concept and the different molding paste textures when working with normal paper to canvas. Very educational, thankyou!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475506272885149841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213477643200215676.post-76204947724306139602020-04-13T22:10:50.806-05:002020-04-13T22:10:50.806-05:00This looks really nice.

As a newcomer to this process, I sometimes have had my inner self arguing about layering over something that I have become too attached to. But the way you layered it to let the previous paints/stencils to peek through was like a light bulb turning on. I think a much lighter layer is what I need to do. Please consider doing more tutorials...I learned so much from you today.

Covering up is definitely something you ...Hi Janet,<br />Covering up is definitely something you have to get comfortable with! I knew I was going to do that when I started, so I made sure that I didn't get too attached to any area. That's also part of the reason why I made the molding paste layer so thin... you can still see a lot of the original pattern and texture showing through so you don't lose it entirely. <br /><br />This technique actually works really well when you're trying to do a really busy page or canvas and it gets areas that are really muddy or you end up not liking it... then covering up the parts you don't like and letting other areas show through is a great way to "save" your work or tone down something that got a bit busier than you'd intended.<br /><br />Of course, if you absolutely love your patterned layer, you can always just leave off the molding paste and stop there! <br /><br />I'm glad you liked it! And I'm still learning the process too :)Gwen Lafleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702506150586824797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213477643200215676.post-77322923161457951052014-06-13T07:35:07.547-05:002014-06-13T07:35:07.547-05:00Thank you for sharing this process with us.
