workshop 11 by Donna Downey stencil art

"Paint like an artist"

Do you sometimes look at a blank canvas and think, “where do I start?” Have you ever wanted to know how

Artists get so many layers of color and texture to emerge through their work? Do you wish someone would

just walk you step-by-step through creating a finished piece start to finish?

Look no more, no painting or drawing skills needed for this workshop because we are going to use stencils

and LOTS OF THEM! Using your acrylic paints, I will show you how to create your own custom spray paints

and precision tip paint pens giving you a fun new repertoire of options for appling your color to your

canvas. I will also show you how to use color and texture to create visual depth as we build a background

for our art. Then, help you isolate pieces of your background designs to use as you build your design in the

foreground.

You will be amazed what emerges from the chaos and shocked at just how fun and easy it is to “

Paint likean Artist”.
