How To Make Stencils for Collagraphs

In this video I wanted to show you where I draw inspiration from to make stencils for my collagraphs. I'll look at various materials you can make stencils from and just how many different creative approaches you can apply to use and re-use your stencils and stencil by-products

Learn my tips and tricks for using positive and negative spaces, incorporating oil-paper stencils, and experimenting with patterns using these versatile stencil designs.

Grab your craft knife and let's add texture and depth to our art together!
