Are you enjoying your weekend? I'm sharing this fun experiment I've been working on all week. I pulled out my new Pinwheels stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and taped it down over some watercolor paper. I then applied some crackle paste over the stencil and let it dry overnight. The next day, I sprayed some colors that my mom gave me for Christmas (Wplus9 Pure Color sprays) and set it aside to dry. The colors I used are Sweet Gelato, Lake House, and Bloomsberry.
After the piece was dry, I wanted to emphasize the lines between the crackled areas. I poured some of the blue Lake House spray out onto a palette and used a paintbrush to apply this blue color to the "grout lines." This really helped to set off the crackled areas. Those crackles are just so fun! Here is a close up look at those crackles:
I had no idea how this project was going to turn out. It's all part of the fun of experimentation. I love how this looks and I can't wait to try it again with another Colorful Life Designs stencil. Hmmmm which one should I use??
