Paint Your Own Born to Be Wild Canvas - Denise Alloca Creative Team Thursday



When I received Jessica’s Born to Be Wild Animals stencil it reminded me of my daughter, not that she’s a wild child!  That and she loves animals and has an incredible spirit.  For this Design Team contribution I decided to make a canvas for my daughter Erin.  Using three of Jessica Sporn’s stencils I created a bright, positive piece of artwork for Erin. I started off painting my canvas in bright colors, then I used a texture plate to add interest.  


Next I used a reductive stenciling technique that gives a subtle and interesting look to the image.  A little detailing with Stabillo pencils and water, and done.



I hope you enjoy the video!

  3. I didn't know the name for this technique was reductive - makes sense! And is quite effective. Thanks for sharing.
