taxidermy for the squeamish..

Friday’s project! An influence of Andresen’s, a local drinking establishment that features a full taxidermie’d wall. I don’t know what it is about this particular stencil, but I love it. I use it a lot. This time, I just sprayed a copper background directly onto an unfinished wooden plaque. I added bits of tan and brown. Then I added the dots, from a found object screen, in red. When it was dry, I went back and stenciled the deer using black heavy body acrylic paint. I added a little bit of shading using a dry brush, pulling some of the black out. A little bit of dark brown on the edges, and picture hanger on the back and we’re ready to go!
