December challenge; use a stencil or mask
(Creative Embellishments DT)
We have a Mickey Mouse train that runs around under our Christmas tree which I love. Creative Embellishments had this Christmas train which is my focal and starting off point for this canvas. I applied a coat of gesso then starting painting the cars with Shimmerz Inklings peppermint twist, miner, miner 49er and emerald city. The trees received a smuggy layer of Shimmerz Texturez artie choked.
My daughter was trying to sell llama paintings to raise money for her college's medical missionary trip this summer. She had leftovers and I decided to recycle the. This is an 11x14" canvas. I ripped a piece of Webster's paper Sweet Seasons at an angle and cropped off two inches on the side to give an opening down the center . Here I used a dot stencil and applied a mask which I also added on the edges.
