I learned the order of creating the Stargazer lily from your tutorial. Thanks for that. I've had problems painting anthers and now I think I can do that by painting them first as was shown. Because of your quick tutorials, I'm trying new materials and exploring new methods.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work. I love lily.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteJane, I love how you incorporated the stencils into your flower drawing. It's different from how you usually do art journaling but effective. I love these stencils.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely stencils. I have never heard of spray gesso before. Thanks for the video, and the give-away. Love your lily :)
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful, I love stargazers and you did an awesome job.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting and what a lovely soft technique for the stencils.
ReplyDeleteI have some stencils, but have been unsure about how get started in using them. Thanks so much for this tutorial!
ReplyDeleteHow would I use the Stargazer techniques on fabric?
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, See you in Napa on the 7th. Love this video using the stencils to 'embellish' your lovely drawing.
ReplyDeleteAs a horticulturist, I love Stargazers. As a crafter/art journalist/ etc I adore how you have used these stencils. Excited for a chance to win a set!
ReplyDeleteI love lilies. I am going to have to try using some of the stencils I have been collecting.
ReplyDeleteI love how you have used these stencils. I grow Stargazers..now I will try to draw them. Thanks for the chance to win a set of stencils.

I've seen them growing in the ground in Seattle and I was amazed! So gorgeous!
Deleteooh- this looks like a lot of fun!!!! I'd love to win the set of stencils! (crossing my fingers!). Gonna look at some of my other stencils & give this a whirl!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous lily and yes, I would love to add another stencil to my stash!
ReplyDeleteLove the subtle effect of the stencil. Thanks for the video showing how you created the painting.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these stencils and try out your technique. Do you sleep Jane?
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm an 8 hour a night girl!
DeleteWow, I love this! Would love to win those diamond stencils!
ReplyDeleteI use stencils all the time, it would be fabulous to win some. The deer almost always get my Stargazer lily, sometimes it does bloom tho.
ReplyDeleteLove the very subtle texture that this method produces.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous background for a gorgeous lily! I'm wondering if the spray gesso is hard to get off the stencil.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I don't wash my stencils. I just leave the gesso on there. Doesn't seem to make any difference cuz it dries pretty permanent.
DeleteThis stencil collection looks like great fun. I have oodles of supplies, but only a few stencils. I do enjoy them to help create more texture and design, but I'm still pretty new and learning.....thanks to a Make It University sessions with you years ago. I think I painted my first Stargazer Lily in that class and thoroughly loved it. :)

ReplyDeletelove the way the stencil pattern complements the "stargazer" theme! thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI'm always enjoying your soft sketch artwork. The detailed black outlines with the soft watercolors give this a dreamy look and the stenciled background compliments it perfectly. Not too light or too dark...just right! :)
ReplyDeleteI am planning a fabric surface design process for a group of seniors I work with and these would be great for creating some custom quilt blocks. I love the watercolor effect that can be obtained. It would be a great process for expressing the seasons.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lily Jane. I like the stencil too.
ReplyDeleteI've got spray gesso, but have never used it. Now I have inspiration--thank you!
