Fireworks! by Elaina Appleby
Painting World Magazine
Light bulb fireworks... who would have thought? Well, you can set these faux fireworks out all year, as I do, along with my father’s Army blanket and flag. It makes a nice display on our bookshelves. Or, you may want to have the most unique display on the Fourth of July. These fireworks look vintage because I have used antiquing, texturing, splattering, and some sanding. They’re a wonderful way to honor our family members and celebrate the good old USA! About Elaina Elaina has a passion for creating, teaching, and sharing. She’s taught hundreds of students who love her work. She has experience in all things crafty and has many publications.

Pretty-in-Pink Peonies by Marianne Andreazza
Painting World Magazine Who doesn’t fall in love with the peonies of late spring and early summer? Follow me down the peony path to learn a simple, layered method for successfully painting them so you can enjoy them all year long. This project will also teach you a simple method to paint a glass vase, which you can later incorporate into any other glass element you may want to paint in other projects. While I designed this project on canvas, you can easily paint it on a wood plaque or a Roc-Lon® banner. Wouldn’t this make a unique welcome sign or banner for your summer garden? Or a nice painted tray for summer entertaining? You can even paint a single flower from this lesson to personalize a notebook cover, a smartphone case, a makeup case, a piece of luggage… the possibilities are endless!
About Marianne Marianne first picked up a brush over 20 years ago, taking a tole painting class in Southern California. After moving to Orlando, Florida, Marianne picked up a brush again after meeting Donna Dewberry at the Extrav Convention. She expanded her painting horizons to many other techniques, medias, and instructors by attending conventions across the country as a student, refining her own style over the years. Marianne’s journey continued into designing and teaching. She most recently became an instructor on the national level.

Preparation: Use the project pattern to mark the table line on the surface. Use a T-square to be sure the line is straight. Mask off the table line using painter’s tape, placing the tape so that you can paint the area above the table line. Paint the background with Spa Blue loaded onto the 3/4” flat wash brush. You will need two coats. Remove the painter’s tape while the background is still wet, but do not proceed until it’s dry. Next, place a clean piece of tape at/above the table line, and paint the tabletop below it with Desert Turquoise in the same fashion. Remove the tape, and let the canvas totally dry. Do not worry too much about a little bleeding of either color of paint at the table line. Shading later on will take care of that. Hint: Our background is solid Spa Blue, but if you wanted to add “wallpaper,” perhaps with a stencil, to this Spa Blue background, you would do it right after completing the

Stamping! This is the last of a three-part series in which I have been focusing on how to create interest to designs. In this issue, I am discussing the use of stamps. Stamping has become a very well-known tool for painters all around the world in many different genres of art. Using stamps began in about 3000 BC when people created them from carved wood or seals. They used them to create impressions in clay tablets or clay bricks. As time progressed, people used these carved stamps with dyes to print onto cloth, which lead to printing onto papyrus. This led to printmaking, wood blocking, and using stamps in art. While stamps are well-known tools for paper crafting, stamping has become very hot in the painting community as well. It has evolved to become a very popular art form where some type of ink, dye, paint, or pigment is applied to an image that has been carved, molded, or laser engraved onto rubber or wood.

The most popular stamps are those that are commercially made from rubber. There are two basic types of rubber stamps: wood stamps, which are mounted to wood, and cling stamps, which are not mounted, but will stick to transparent acrylic handles. While both types have benefits, cling rubber stamps are much more versatile and cost effective for painters. Because the acrylic handles are clear, artists can position the stamp onto a painting with greater accuracy than they could a wood mounted stamp. Cling stamps can also be hand-held and used to make impressions on three-dimensional objects because of the flexibility of the rubber.

Painting World Magazine Photopolymer stamps are also called clear cling stamps. These have gained popularity because not only are they clear to aid in the application, but companies generally sell them in sets of related images. Painters can also carve their own stamps from wood, foam, and rubber. Speedball® makes a variety of tools for handmade stamps, including Speedy-Carve™ Blocks and Linoleum Cutters. These tools make it easy, and it is so much fun to create your customized stamps. Simply draw out a pattern or use clip art. Transfer the design onto the carving block, and then select the correct size tips to cut out the pattern. There is another product by Clearsnap®, called the Magic Stamp®, that allows you to create reusable stamps. Magic Stamps are foam blocks that you heat and impress with found objects. The image will remain until you reheat the block.
it is difficult to use them with paint. Permanent inks, such as StazOn®, dry immediately and will not bleed. You can also use markers to colorize the stamps, but many of them are water-based and will bleed. When using markers, it helps to use a spray fixative to set them before continuing to paint. Another type of ink you can use with the stamps is embossing inks, which can add a wide range of effects to a painting. Apply these inks to the stamp in the same manner as other mediums, and then sprinkle embossing powders over them. The effects are limitless because of the variety of embossing powders on the market. While they are fun to use, you do need to heat set most embossing inks. However, you can hold the gun further away to melt the powders without lifting the paint.
You can use stamps with many different mediums. Acrylic paints, permanent inks, embossing inks, and markers can create different effects. I love using acrylic paints with stamps. To do so, simply load a high-density sponge with the acrylic paint, and work it into the sponge. Working quickly, pounce the sponge over the stamp, and then press the stamp evenly to make an impression. Do not rock the stamp. If you’re making another impression, reload the stamp, and then make the impression. Inks are also fun to use with painted projects, but many inks will not dry unless you heat set them. The guns used to heat set inks were created to remove paint from buildings; therefore, © 2017 Painting World Magazine Digital Edition. All rights reserved.

Painting World Magazine As a mixed media artist, I love creating texture in my pieces. For this piece, I wanted to try a more primitive approach and create a barn-inspired background. We will explore color, texture, and various mediums using acrylic paints, collages, and stencils. You can paint this project on a variety of surface textures and sizes. My inspiration for this piece came from my students, who wanted a rooster and a sunflower class. I love the combination!
Surface: • 12” x 12” Ursula Wollenberg Wood Floater Frame, or substrate of your choice
DecoArt Media® Paints: • Raw Umber Antiquing Cream DMM151 • Sap Green Fluid Acrylics™ DMFA07
• Palette Knife • Small Dot Stencil and/or Small Square Stencil (see Helpful Hints to make your own) • Scissors • Paper Towels • Acrylic Varnish (optional)
Preparation:
DecoArt Americana Acrylics:

• Dark Scarlet Multi-Surface Satin™ DA508 • Spicy Mustard DA284 • Bleached Sand DA257 • Sky Blue Multi-Surface Satin DA522 • Burnt Umber DAO64 • Burnt Sienna DAO63 • Zinc DA304 • Raw Sienna DAO93
Golden® Acrylics: • Ultramarine Blue 77007 • Permanent Maroon 73903
With the palette knife, loosely apply gesso to the surface, leaving some areas thicker than others. Allow it to dry. When the surface is dry, apply a coat of Zinc, followed by a small amount of Sky Blue and Bleached Sand, wet-on-wet. Follow this with thin, watered down Dark Scarlet, and allow the paint to drip down the background from the top. Repeatedly stencil onto the moist paint with the Dot Stencil using Bleached Sand, Zinc, and a small amount of Burnt Umber. Brush mix the paint as you apply it.
DecoArt® Mediums:
About Ursula Painting and drawing have always been passions of mine. I began my creative journey 30 years ago, after my son was born. It wasn’t long until I discovered decorative painting and began to design and teach. I even managed to have a few books published. I took a little detour as an interior designer for a few years. I am now back full circle, and love spending countless hours in my home studio. You can find me at uswoll@aol. com and Light Lovely Designs by Ursula uwoll.blogspot.com

Helpful Hints: This project works best on a hard surface. Brush mix to create more color and synchronicity within the piece. Wipe the brush off on a paper towel in between colors rather than rinsing it. You can make your own dot stencil with a playing card and hole punch. Tap the stencil brush out on a paper towel so only a small amount, a hint, of color shows on the background.
