Face(s) of Day 8 = fun, fun, fun.
I got to:
- create stencils out of freezer paper. *
- play with the effects of alcohol on acrylic paint*
- spray paint
*Links of Tutorials
The process.
Cut.
To make the stencil I first sketched the first face (left) with pencil (on the dull side of the freezer paper). Then I cut out shapesfrom the sketch with an x-acto knife.After the first face, I realized I found the sketching--->cutting process tobe tedious, so I free-handed --with the x-acto knife -- the second face, the one in the blue (see the finished photo below).
Iron
I ironed the stencils onto the canvas, then started to paint. I had no real concept to work off of so I just winged it.
Paint
Spray Paint, Acrylics, Paper Towels, Drips, Mix

After paint dried, I peeled the stencil off.

[/caption]Although it didn't turn out as crisp and neat as I'd hope I like the effects created by the acrylic- alcohol- water mix. Also, freezer paper stencil are supposed to work best on fabric, so I don't think primed canvas was the ideal surface for the stencil to seal onto. Either way, I'm digging freezer paper.
