Love it! I tried a stencil on canvas, a big one and the letters were a bit blurry. Wish I had thought of putting a wood block under the canvas. Thank you!! Great video. 😀
Hello. I am new to decoupage and stenciling. I find your work spectacular, and your video very informative and helpful to beginners. I am truly looking forward to trying this project, and hope it reflects your glorious work. I have subscribed to your channel and looking forward to seeing and trying new projects. Thank you very much for the very lovely video. 😎 👍.
It would depend on what paint you used. If you are using a multi surface paint, you really don’t need to. Even most basic acrylic will hold up fine, indoors without being sealed. That said if say I were putting it in the kitchen or bathroom I would probably seal it with some Liquitex Satin Varnish, just because it would offer more protection and it would allow me to wipe it down with a damp cloth if it got dirty from dust, etc. So sometimes I do just go ahead and put on a coat of varnish.
All canvases nowadays come pre-primed with Gesso. That gesso quality will depend on the grade of canvas you buy. The paint base is like the finish to the prime. Can you just stencil on the gesso? Sure, but it won’t offer you the same protection that a coat of paint will.
Hi. Do we have to use background paint before using the stencil and paint on top of the canvas? Can we use the stencil directly on the canvas without background paint?
Hi Alisa, so i drew a name on an A4 paper and transferred it to a canvas, can i follow your steps using the same paper to paint the name on the canvas? Thanks!
I’m not sure I am understanding your question. Did you trace the name on the canvas, and you just want to paint it with acrylic paint? If so yes you can. If that’s not it please try and rephrase it for me.
I don’t know why this one has volume issues. I am listening to it on my TV right now and I can hear. I think it must be worse on certain devices. But I checked and captions do work. Just turn them on. To turn captions on, click pause, look at the top of screen, and click the CC box. I hope that helps.
