The Wild Geese Stencil is part of the bird stencil range from Henny Donovan. Create stunning mural effects with this single layer one sheet stencil - depicting beautiful flying geese, softly draping weeping willow and a lake of water swirls, with smaller geese flying in formation, on a quiet moonlight night. 

The design can be used as laid out on the stencil sheet or the moon and small flying geese can be stencilled separately to change their position - see the examples on this page. This design lends itself to both strongly contrasting silhouette colour palettes and moody soft pastel colours.  See sizes and specifications below.

Above - the moon section of the design has been stencilled first behind the flying geese to create the feeling of extra depth and dimension to the design. Moon stencilled in Estuary Grey and over-stencilled in Pearl Metallic Stencil Paint. Geese, weeping willow and water swirls stencilled in Umber Charcoal, Seagull, Storm and Grassland Stencil Paints.

Above - an atmospheric treatment of the Wild Geese stencil with falling snow added by hand after stencilling, to give that winter feeling to the Wild Geese. The moon motif has been stencilled first in Ice White Stencil Paint, and then the remainder of the stencil applied on top of this in Seagull, Shoreline, Storm, Arctic Grey and Navy Charcoal Stencil Paints.

Above - close up detail of the Wild Geese Stencil, stencilled as an exquisite lacquer effect panel, in Gold Metal Transfer and Antique Gold Metallic Stencil Paint on a black painted board, finished with Acrylic Gloss Varnish. The moon has been stencilled first very lightly with Antique Gold, then Gilding Size is applied to the rest of the stencil, which is then removed and the Gold Transfer is applied. Some of the small geese have been repeated at the top of the mural board. Below - shows the board hanging as a stunning decorative panel.


Above - the layout of the Wild Geese Stencil has been altered here with the moon motif lowered and stencilled first in Chinoiserie Stencil Paint on an azure and turquoise painted background. The small geese have then been raised and stencilled over the moon. The large geese, weeping willow and water swirls remain in position. This layout gives the mural extra dimension and a sense of perspective.

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.
