A How to Paint Guide Elegant Ivy Stencil

Overlay 1 of 3

Stencil leaves with MSP018 Telemark Green, stencil veins and vines with MSP01027 Pilgrim Green.

NOTE: Some of the veins are stenciled before the leaves. When you stencil the leaves in Prints 2 and 3, you need to apply the paint lightly in order for the veins to show. An alternative is to wait to stencil the veins until all of the leaves are done and then reposition Print 1 to stencil the veins.

Stencil the leaves with light green. To make the light green, mix MSP0108 Telemark Green with MSP01017 White - scoop out a little of each paint with a knife or the back of a spoon and blend them together on a disposable plate.

Note: The paint can be covered tightly with plastic wrap and used the next day if you don't finish.

Overlay 3 of 3

Stencil the leaves with light yellow green. Veins and small vines are stenciled with MSP01027, the larger woody vines are stenciled with MSP01057 Walnut Brown.

Note: To make the light yellow green, mix MSP01008 Telemark Green with MSP01056 Pale Yellow - scoop out a little of each paint with a knife or the back of a spoon and blend them together on a disposable plate.
