Inspired by Cathy Taylor’s Pigments of Your Imagination” I decided to try Working with Stencils on 62# Yupo paper.
I’ve always been attracted to this stencil with aspen trees. Here’s the link to purchase this stencil – $6.
I took a 6×6 sheet of 62# Yupo, placed the stencil on top and started blotting with Watermelon, Honeycomb, and Botanical. It was cool to see the ink puddle under the stencil. I pushed the bubbles around and then left it to dry.
The image was revealed by pulling the stencil off. It was tacky for a couple of hours.
I’ve always wondered about the 62# Yupo. How see through is it? I placed the aspens on several different mat board and you could really see the difference as the color from the mat changed the image. Click through the slide show to see the results:
Any opinions? I’m sure some of you will come up with new ideas how to layer sheets of 62# Yupo Paper.
How long do you leave the stencil on before removing it?
Hi Denise,
The stencil actually slows down the alcohol from evaporating. I would leave at at least 20 minutes before lifting.
Love this Sheryl.
I really think the white mat looks wonderful with this stencil painting. It shows all of the colors beautifully.
Sheryl, this is fabulous ! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring !!
You are welcome!
