 Hey guys, how are you? We are here with another video for the pick your passion art hop and I will tell you to start with that There's some really talented people in the heart in the hop this month So I would appreciate it if you watch the video my video all the way through first But then don't forget before you leave to check the video description for all those other links And when you get back to my video, you know, you've seen them all Okay, so this month we're going to play with some more watercolor. I saw this on the internet somewhere I don't remember where it might have been a stencil girl like Instagram video kind of thing I don't remember to be honest. It could have been YouTube. I don't know but it was Basically watercoloring with stencils, but a different way than we do it last time So I've got a piece of watercolor paper here And the first thing I'm going to do is tape off a square shape in the middle ish With some painters tape and hopefully I do it straight sort of We'll see I guess So this is just your standard blue Painters tape from the hardware store nothing special Oh So I saw them do this on a video, and I thought it was interesting enough that I Really really really needed to try it. I am just like fumble fingers today. What the heck is wrong with me? I'm just eyeballing it. I'm not measuring anything obviously, I do have a stencil here next to me it is not not one of my own this time this is a Crafters workshop sizzle designs by Jamie Really cool botanical one that's new to me Is there a name on it? mini vines TCW 187s mini vines, and it looks like alright, so we've got our tape on here I'm going to use my Koi watercolors I'm going to go get my spray bottle I also need to plug the heat tool in and I'll be right back I guess while I was up paint brushes would have been helpful too, don't you think and maybe a water? So first thing we're going to do is I'm going to take my spray bottle here, and I'm going to Just give the watercolors the spritz and then Do I want to put the stencil on first? Do I want to give it a background first? I think I want to give it a little bit of a background first so What we're going to do is take a flat brush This is a Princeton Neptune Half-inch flat it would be helpful if I actually put these on my eyeballs Yeah, half-inch flat, okay, and we're going to take a blue here. I'm going to go with a cerulean blue And then I'm going to add some extra water so it's kind of watery and Thin light, and we're going to just do this ladder splatter And add some more Diffuse some of the dark spots a little bit Then we're going to dry it Now I want to add a little bit of green before we put the stencil on so I'm going to go with the Permanent green pale. I'm going to just add some of it to the blue that we already used And then again Diffuse the color a little bit and give it a dry. Okay now we're going to take a pixie spray It's a light tack repositionable adhesive intended for stencils. I had to order this from Amazon I couldn't find any place that had it in stock locally and You maybe could use something else, but the video I saw they use this So we're going to use this I'm going to spray this and stick it down. I Guess I should read the directions first So it says to shake well, of course hold it 12 inches from the stencil Spray out basically a light coating of the adhesive on the stencil let it dry for a minute and then press the stencil to the Project so I am going to do that and I'll be right back Should we see what happened? Oops shaky camera. Sorry. Should we see what happened? This is literally my first time trying this. I've not tried it ahead of turning the camera on let's find out Okay, that's cool That's so cool Look Repositionable adhesive for your stencil. Okay, let me do a little more to it. Hang on So here here you go. Look at that. I love it I went around the outside edge with my colored pencil and I did sign it The painter's tape gives you with this nice clean edge So if you're creating something that you might want to frame or make a print of that's it A good thing to just keep in mind. You don't always have to paint to the edge of the paper but look at the way this turned out water coloring with Stentals in different way than we did last time But a no less exciting way to use your water coloring and your stencils Together in your mixed media projects and a little bit of green colored pencil added something really nice to the project I really love it. I really love it. I'll be doing this again Yeah, I'm if you've been watching my channel for a while, you know, I'm passionate about watercolor I love water coloring. I also love my stencils now. I can use them together. I love that All right, that's it for right now.
