Clarity Masculine


A real quick project, 1 texture medium, 2 stencils & 3 paints!

I really like the stripe and houses stencils by Clarity Stamps and have wanted to use it for a while
The houses remind me of the cottages in Staithes a place I associate with my father, so I wanted to create a coastal feel on this mini canvas which I will make into a card for him

I used DecoArt Modelling paste with the stripes onto a piece of chipboard 
Once dry I stenciled the houses in the centre and faded the texture around the edges and the sky

The houses were lightly covered with Desert storm with titanium white fading upwards for the sky followed A wash of Prussian blue wiped back to reveal the highlights on the houses and sky

  11. A wonderful piece of art - the colours make my heart sing, and I fear I may need that stencil too now... You're not helping with my credit card bills tonight!
