Mixed Media Tutorial - using a stencil and modelling paste.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 апр 2020
- Join me in this class to see how I create an acrylic background and then use a palette knife to add modelling paste through a stencil to add interest and definition.
Firstly, I paint a background using acrylic paints 663, 638 and 221 (see below for a full description). I use a variety of different size brushes to create a painty effect with lots of strokes going in different directions. I then add the paints 154, 114 and 024 to blend and feather the colours together to create an overall effect reminiscent of beautiful, old Italian wall or fresco. Allow to dry.
I place the stencil in a position that I feel happy with and then using a palette knife I carefully add modelling paste. I then peel the stencil off to reveal the design below. Allow to dry thoroughly.
If you would like to, at this point you can add another layer of modelling paste. More layers means more definition. Allow to dry.
Finally, I dab paints 024, 247 and 114 lightly and randomly through the stencil to give a stone looking effect to the stencilled design. Using my breyer I then add paint to the edges of the canvas to add an aged look. I then paint the sides of the canvas to complete my design. Allow to dry.
This tutorial is meant as just a guide to show you one of the processes that I use to create my own art. Please feel free to add your own choice of colours and stencils.

Stunning
Thank you so much !
Thanks! My aunt, who is a professional artist, lol and I can barely draw a stick figure, just gave me a jar of modeling paste and I was looking for what I could do with it and found your tutorial! Thanks!
Hi, that's great, thanks for your comment. Hope you have lots of fun with it!
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist Thank you!! THere are SOO many different things that can be done with it and so many awesome tutorials on YT, lol, it's kind of overwhelming! It's the main reason I havent tried 'junk journaling', lol, I just dont know where to start because there is so much and I love the bigger, really cool ones, but that's prob not a good start, lol! Same with shadow boxes...some paper/mixed media type projects are so new to me, that I just get overwhelmed and never start, lol, then get bored bc I feel like Im always doing the same things (which is mostly upcyled old thrift 70s/80s decor to "new" farmhouse/primitive decor). I know I have to start SOMEWHERE though! Lol! But, thanks for responding! =)
You are absolutely right.. there are some amazing videos on YT and deciding where to begin can feel a little overwhelming so I guess you just dive in, go for it and have fun! Would love to see what you do! ♡
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist Lol, yes, I think that is what Im going to do! Lol! Ill have to find you on another platform where I can post a pic to see. Of course, it could be 3 months from now, lol, or a year...I kid, lol!! I think Im ready to just dive in now =)
Ali lovely work, nice to see you creating and sharing your fabulous art
Thanks so much, so pleased you enjoyed watching. ♡

Thank you so much! ♡
Gut gemacht 👏 👏👏👏
Danke dir.
Lovely work! Do u have to add a medium or something to the modelling paste or do u spread it directly on the canvas?
Hi, thank you! I spread it directly onto the canvas just as it is. 😊
Great great job ! you are very creative with this technique we have the tools but we don’t know how to use it ! 😢 thanks !
Where did you get your stencil? You have neat tools and ideas and techniques!
Superbe ❤❤❤
Thank you so much ❤️
My roommate and I watched together and love that you used a roller in place of a brush.
It turned out very gorgeous!
I love the rich color pallet you chose.
I am so pleased that you and your roommate enjoyed it. I like to try different things in place of a brush.. in some of my other videos I just use my fingers! So much fun! Thanks for commenting!
Beautiful work and an interesting technique. Mind sharing the lovely music selections?
Hi Kathy, thanks so much for your comment. I'm still quite new to this and so learning as I go. Unfortunately I didn't take note of my music choices.. I just chose what I liked and what I felt fitted, however, I aim to do better!! I always use the same type of music and so from the next video I will be sure to list song choices and products used. Many thanks. Ali
However I know that the first track is called Kona Sun. x
When doing the initial background painting did you do it all wet on wet, or did you allow the layers to dry before adding more paint?
Initially I worked wet on wet and then as the layers built up I allowed the layers to dry before adding more paint.
How did you seal that did you varnish that? That’s beautiful I’ve been working the opposite way I like the stencil thing better
Hi, I didn’t seal this particular one and quite liked the raw tooth type finish that it had, however, I was commissioned to create 4 more very similar pieces and I sealed those with Galeria Matt medium which gave a very slight shine to the finish. I liked both finishes but felt the sealed pieces were more protected.
What is the most suitable thickness for a stencil to get a good depth for the modelling paste? Some of the most common stencils are 190 micron which is really thin so I assume wouldn't give a very good effect. I would like to cut my own stencil using a heat pen tool but don't know what thickness of stencil to buy. I hope you can give some advise 😀
Hi Davey, I used these and cut out with a craft knife. They’re 6mm. I found them on Amazon and they worked great.

Looks fantastic. What size stencil did you use and what is the brand name please
Hi, it is the Elizabeth Lace stencil from Dizzy Duck Designs. I got mine on Amazon. I think this one was 25cm. 😊
This is very cool! What is the brand of modeling paste you use?
Hi, thank you. Here I used Liquitex Modelling Paste but I also use Galeria.
Question: where did you get that beautiful stencil? Your work is gorgeous!
Hi there, thanks so much! Here's the link... www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0774J7YCD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
WOW STUNNING!!
Hi, I'm from the UK and wondered what thickness of mylar stencil you use. Most of the companies here cut mylar on a vinyl cutting machine and can only offer 190micron which apparently is too thin to use with modelling paste as you wont be able to see the true effect when stencil is removed. Someone suggested a hot pen tool and cut my own stencils but I'm worried about breathing in the fumes from hot plastic. Can you suggest a good thickness of mylar and maybe I can find another way to get some stencil cut with it.
Hi Davey, I have answered on your other query.. hope that helps. Have a great day 🙂
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist I'd like to know how to make my own stencils, too. Or how to do this.
Can Light Blue be used instead of Wedgewood?
Hi there, yes that's absolutely fine.. if it feels bit too bright mix with a touch of the Buff Titanium. Have fun!
Where did you purchase the roller you use?
Hi Michelle, I got this particular one off Amazon.. put small brayer into the search engine and a variety of sizes/prices will come up. Many thanks for watching. ❤️
Shd v apply gesso before stenciling or after stenciling??
I apply gesso first through the stencil, allow to dry thoroughly and then add acrylic through the stencil to add colour.
Hi beautiful thank you, what is the roller you are using? Thanks
Hi, it’s called a brayer. You can buy them on Amazon or in any art shop. 😊
I am using itsy bitsy sculpture paste and stencils for painting but everytime after applying paste over stencils, I'm trying to remove stencils immediately after this process , then the whole paste came out with stencils and couldn't get the pattern over MS boards,,, can u suggest some tips? Should I have to wait till paste dry and then to remove the stencils and Ms board? I'm so confused, i couldn't figure it out what to do 🥺🥺
Hi, it sounds as though the sculpture paste that you are using is not thick enough to hold.. if you can maybe use modelling paste or gesso. I use Galeria Modelling Paste and I remove the stencil slowly and carefully immediately after I finish and find it holds very well. Good luck! 😊
@@AliImperialeMixedMediaArtist ok thanks I'll try with this now
From where did u get the stencil??
It is the Elizabeth Lace stencil from Dizzy Duck Designs.
