Some tips when using stencils:
Clean your stencils right away after using so that they are ready to go for the next use. If you don't clean them off you will have a messier result, instead of clean sharp lines.
Grouping. Repetition is wonderful, you can use the same stencil multiple times in a piece, changing direction or position to mix it up. I personally like odd numbers, so I like to group in 3's or 5's rather than 2 or 4s.
Stacking. If you let the first stencil dry you can do another one on top or partially overlapping the first for a very dimensional effect that turns out beautifully!
Keep your gloves and workspace clean to keep your canvas cleaner. If you do get some smudges with the spackling paste clean them off asap with a baby wipe and a paper towel before it dries.
I hope you guys enjoyed this video, and it gave you some new ideas for working with materials you might already have on hand. I have had a lot of fun playing with the spackling paste and I hope you do too if you give it a try!
