I love this painting thing. Making canvases. Mixed media playing.
This time I am doing a series of 3.
Ocean themed.
Scallops.
Embossing my own design.
Here's my hand cut original stencil.
Quite the masterpiece, eh?
I painted some watercolor paper first in this cream colored acrylic (Liquitex) and thought it was too creamy for my backgrounds so then I stenciled some gesso over it.
Here's one of my scallops. Still too light. I used some Distress stain to darken it a bit and the embossing is a lovely resist.
I also added some Viva Gold sand media at a spot here and there.
My 3 canvases- UNFINISHED!
Getting there though.
I want to add some depth to this big scallop and something else where I left it blank and not embossed.

This is lots of fun Erika! :)
I like your made stencil. The shells look as if they are in a happy environment, nice work.
Always fun with ones complete own work. I'm sure your sea scapes will turn out lovely.
