I was waiting for dinner so i decided to make a bookmark. Its the first time i did an animal “stencil”.
I did a light sketch of the cat (no, i can’t really draw a proper cat so had to suffice with a sketch).
With a thin blade, i cut out the shape. And then decorated the card, as see below.
Nice?

Will use this link as a tutorial of sorts.
I was thinking of using the brush but on such a big furniture, i don’t know how “smooth” the strokes are going to be.
This is very different from using oil on canvas.
I wonder how many cans of paint I’d need.
I made the same mistake in the last project, i sprayed painted on the grass so now my grass is green with patches of white.
I sorted out my stuff and started painting again. Its a good feeling. But the negative side is that turpentine and oil paint is very bad for my skin. Its so rough and dry now.
But oh, i love the smell, the feel of it.
That’s my old palette. I think its a Talens. I am using Daler-Rowney and pretty old Leranc & Bourgeois paint. Both are butter smooth. I prefer either brands over the Korean ones. I feel the Korean ones found in my local art shop is not butter smooth enough. I regretted not buying a larger easel that can prop the canvas at 90 degrees. But no complains about the quality that Mabel produces. Solid. Will last me for decades. AS for the other easel, I think it too will last me well although its a pain to reassemble it. LOL.
