The Wild Grasses Stencil Range from Henny Donovan comprises a set of graceful designs chosen for their elegance and delicacy and instant appeal for contemporary decorating. Use the different designs in combination or on their own to create beautiful wild grass murals and effects. The Large Wild Oat Grass Stencil is inspired by long, graceful wild oat grasses with their tall swaying stems and full, slightly drooping, antennae-like seed heads. This beautiful and elegant stencil will give a soft, sophisticated designer touch for both walls and fabrics.

This page features the Large Wild Oat Grass Stencil - a single sheet one layer stencil with two wild oats motifs that can be used together or separately - see specifications below.

Stencil in natural tones of gold, ochre, brown and moss greens on light natural coloured backgrounds, or in light 'silhouette' colours on darker contrasting backgrounds.

Above - the Large Wild Oat Grass Stencil positioned with one grass section a little lower than the first and repeated across different moss green coloured panels and stencilled in alternating colours of Coffee Bean and Sesame Stencil Pant. This simple muted colour palette is very effective and can be used in a variety of colours to the same effect - try this on decorative panels or around a room under dado height or on stairs. Below - this example shows another colour combination of this arrangement on grey and lavender backgrounds, stencilled in Seagull and Vanilla Stencil Paints.

Two-tone stencilling
Using two colours stencil the cut out shapes of the stencil with one colour and then over-stencil a part of each cut out shape with the second colour, blending as you go. This creates depth and a more 3-dimensional feel.

Graduated Painted Background Technique
Very effective with starry stencils 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.
