Above - create simple style with our beautiful Kingfisher design simply stencilled onto a black cotton swing vest in bright kingfisher colours with Motif Fabric Paints. Fabric Paint colours used - Pure White Fabric Paint first and then over-stencilled with the kingfisher colours Turquoise Green, Cobalt Blue, Strawberry Red mixed with Sunny Yellow, Terracotta, Bright Green and Light Lime. Stencilling with white first helps to create real luminosity of colour on dark coloured fabrics.

Stencilling onto fabric is very easy. As usual apply repositionable spray adhesive to the reverse of the stencil, lay the stencil onto your fabric with a protective sheet of paper in between the layers of cloth and stencil with our Fabric Paints and Stencil Sponges. Iron on the reverse side so the paint becomes fast and you are ready to wear!. (Fabric Paints come with full instructions).

Add a touch of style to your summer T-shirts and vest tops!

Graduated Painted Background Technique
A graduated painted background can be achieved by using two similar tones of emulsion paint (latex) and a tinted varnish glaze over the top. This technique will not work with radically different colours - keep the tones similar so mixing is easier. Mix a third of each colour together to create a mid-tone colour and paint the wall in horizontal bands dark to light, brushing the colours lightly over each other at the joining bands to create as softer join as possible. Keep strokes long, smooth and horizontal. Mix a varnish glaze using 2/3rd Acrylic Matt Varnish, 1/3rd Acrylic Scumble Glaze. Add a little water if the glaze is much thicker than the consistency of double cream. Tint the glaze with several drops of Universal Tinter to create a transparent glaze a couple of shades deeper than the middle tone of your painted wall. Brush the glaze over the wall and soften in long smooth strokes using a Hog Hair Softener.
