Making your own stencils for water color

Making your own stencils for water color



When you use stencils for water color, it is like stamping. You can pretty much
use anything and everything. But the effects are enormous. Either you can buy it
commercially or make your own. The following are few ways you can make them.

1. It can be made from plastic sheet, tag board, thin sheet of metal or paper.
2. You can use the letters and numbers from the stores or make your own and
use with abstract or theme painting.
3. Use a masking fluid to protect areas and paint over it. You can peel off when dry.

Once you create a shape you want, you can stick them to paper or use it loosely and can
use paint over it and remove it later.

Indulging into new ideas every now and then is a great way to experiment and learn from it.

Joy of Art


Joy of Art



ART is joyful every time you dwell into it. It opens our eyes to the wonder
of the world and inspire us to open our hearts to people all around us. We aspire
to hover and savor each moment as it passes. We need to embrace everything life
has to offer and celebrate it. Life’s grace remind us that it’s beauty is everywhere.
We can capture that beauty in our own art.

Every art you create whether music, dancing, painting or just about anything else, it creates
personal connection with your own soul and that of others when you share with them.

Inspiration from within


Inspiration from within



Never Alone

As a human being we are never alone. We are surrounded by nature and its abundance. Take a long walk and admire it’s beauty and cherish the moments. It awakens our creativity and the hidden art within us.

Remember loneliness may visit us, but it never can possess us.
Never be discouraged when failures come to light
Just use them for stepping stones
And make a stronger fight.

By Loreta Inman

This is beautifully narrated and carries a strong message for us.
Remember, creativity is within us so is some kind of artistic ability.
Explore it and enjoy it.

ART is so soothing and provides solace to soul.

There is something called rewiring for all those people who experience
some kind of depressive state. You can rewire using the instant ART
technique called “One Stroke” painting developed by Donna Dewberry.

It is Acrylic based art and one can learn watching the video  or reading and
following the directions from a simple book. Visit: www.Alkasdesigns.com for
many ideas.
