What if I fail? A Birch Wood Panel with Karenliz

Hi Everyone!
This Birch Wood Panel is simple and easy to create.
KarenlizBeesFlyWoodPanel (5)This is the birch wood panel I used.

KarenlizBeesFlyWoodPanel (1)It has a great surface. Here is a tip for you. If you like to see the grain of the wood in your painting then just start.  If you don’t want to see the grain, I suggest you add a coat of soft gel medium or gesso to the surface first to seal it. I like both but it’s a personal decision.

I started by painting the board black and started adding color with acrylic paints. I challenged myself and used whatever was on my table from Dina Wakely, DecoArt, Golden to Liquitex.

Once I added all the color I added circles with the Circle Explosion stencil.

Next, I added Honeycomb stencil and then just the dots in the Daisy Bit.
Remember you don’t have to use the whole stencil design, sometimes just a small portion is all you need.

KarenlizBeesFlyWoodPanel (4)When the paint dried I added the bees from the Daily Buzz stencil and let it sit overnight to dry.  I painted the bees with the dots from the Daily and added the quote with alpha stamps in archival ink.

Here is the final piece.

The Crafter’s Workshop provided me with stencils to create these projects.
The opinions I share are solely my own because I do love to use them.

  1. Makes me smile when I see this Karenliz because I feel sure that’s exactly how the bees see the world below them when they are flying… just as a haze of lovely colors and designs. Your background is so fun and happy. I love painting on wood! This is super. Xj.
