Ink Art With Mandala Stencils Blue and Red Art
I made new ink Mandala art. I used a nice plastic stencil to make the patterns. I placed the pattern in the center. I then painted over it. It is important to use stencils with big holes. This way of doing ink art doesn’t work well with small holes. The ink tends to migrate underneath the mold. This means that the pattern might be lost if one has too many little openings. As long as the pattern is strongest in certain areas, the mandala pattern still persists. This type of artworks looks best on black paper. I think my new...

What I like best are the combinations of pinks in the curtain, the dress and the floor. In this...
Ink Art Dry Stencil Ink Art Copper in Blue and Red Backgrounds
I made new ink art. I was experimenting with stencils. I started with a soft wash of colors. I then placed the stencil on top of the artworks. I didn’t give it enough time to dry. So, the colors in the blue version moved outside the stencil. In the second artwork, I did give it a little bit more time. So, the shapes were more defined. I am pretty happy with the final results. I mostly worked with one metallic color for the pattern. I wasn’t feeling confident enough to add more colors to it. In any case, I photographed...
