For my next painting I wanted to use more representational stencils, than the decorative ones I had done up to now. I flipped through my animal encyclopedias that I’ve had as long as I can remember to find something that worked for me. I settled on the hummingbird, as I’ve always had a fascination with them.
I thought it would be fun to share the illustrations I did for the stencils, as they stand up pretty well on their own. The black area is what I carve out, naturally.
