Canvas is a great surface to stencil on but look at these awesome wood art panels by Art Alternatives! We first used these panels at the Stencil Style 101 book launch at Converse Rubber Tracks, people loved them! See pics here from that event. I love seeing the neutral grain of the wood with some fun colors on top of it, in this case I used acrylic paints with my set of 4 CHAIRS stencils inspired by Charles and Ray Eames classic designs. You can create your own art easily and in-budget. So how did I do it, you ask? Here are the steps:
Pick some stencils you like..
Place your wood panel flat on a table
Choose a color palette that matches the theme and the decor
I mixed my colors, I chose some retro colors for these chair images
Place a stencil on top of the wood surface and hold in place
Paint using small stencil brushes and a dry brush technique. I like how going light still slightly shows the wood grain through the color!
That one’s done! For a set I did the other designs, making 4. Great house-warming gifts or for a baby shower these are cool gender-neutral for a babies room! Hope to see what you make!
