Hey art enthusiasts! In my latest video, I dove into the world of creativity using Kuretake Graphite watercolors and textured graphite paste. I had a blast experimenting with a beautiful mandala stencil, weaving intricate designs over the graphite hues. I spilled the secrets on how to achieve depth and texture, taking you step-by-step through the process. From mixing the perfect palette to the satisfying moment when the mandala comes to life, this tutorial is all about letting loose and exploring the possibilities of graphite art. Join me on this chill artistic journey as we create something uniquely beautiful together!

Hey Denise, so I'm not sure if you know (and maybe others don't) that stencils have a front and back side to them. The back will be flat while the front will have a small dip on the edges of the design. If you happen to lay them down 'front side ' then that is when you get bleed from. ❤😮😢😅

Loving the grungy feel, especially the purple/blue wave. I would have sworn this to be an Etsy stencil, as it is so unique. Thanks for all you bring to YT .. your creativity, your humor (the world can’t have too much of the joy you spread!!) and your bravery as you express yourself through your art. Wishing you the merriest of merries this holiday season! ❤

Temporary adhesive spray is the way to go. Works perfect! I´ve been watching your videos on making my own watercolors ... here on YT and on Skillshare. Girl I went down that rabbit hole 😂 I try not to buy too many new supplies but, I remembered some OLD pigments from my egg tempera painting period, like 30 years ago 😅 ... They worked perfect and I have had so FUN blending paint. Thank you so much for all you share!! 🤗☺

I've heard that Krylon makes a great temporary fixative for stencils to stay in place. Also Pixie Spray is another alternative. Just make sure your base work is completely dry.

These are awesome! Both of them - they make a great set. Watching you use that palette knife reminded me of someone smoothing out cement. I was thinking a construction project. lol That graphite seems to have a little sparkle to it, right? Love it! I can’t wait to try this. I’m thinking white dots and a smear or two of gold paint before the stencil. I love mandalas🥰 It’s always a favorite time of the week when I can sit with Denise for a bit! 😊

Although you didn't mention it, the one on the left, where you applied the graphite paste with a sponge, looked like it had a some glints of sparkle. I painted a small trial run piece in my WC sketchbook today with some Art Graf pan graphite, and it sparkles quite a bit.. I also added a gold embellishment on top of the graphite and it is a wonderful combo-as suggested by another commenter, below. I'm a fan of all the water soluble graphite products!

Hi Denise! I am not familiar with this particular graphite paste that you used to stencil today. But, by how it sounded when you applied it with the knife and by what I read about it from the reviews on the link that you posted, it looks to me very similar to the micaceous oxide paste made by Golden (which is more expensive). Where I am going with this is that these very granular pastes provide a fabulous tooth for applying colored pencils, soft pastels and/or oil pastels (any dry media, really) on top of them, with beautiful results. Maybe is worth a try sometimes? Anyway, great results of today’s “play”, thank you so much for sharing. 😊
