Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Robin asks: "What is your preferred method of applying paint through a stencil for crafting?"
A: The key to stenciling with paint is having very little paint on your applicator. A local sign-stenciling business uses cheap makeup wedges and taps off almost all the paint before applying it to the project. I have dedicated a couple of my blending brushes to acrylic paint, and I have been pleased with how well they work - again, the key is using as little paint as possible. I usually squeeze out a little paint onto a craft mat and tap the brush into it, then blend in a circular motion on the mat first to even it out before applying it through a stencil. The brushes have synthetic bristles that clean very easily with a prompt rinse in warm water.
