The Daily Stencil Inspiration: Creating Your Own Abstract Art

This is not the most inspiring photo/roomset, but it gives you just one idea of what you can achieve with stencils to make your own art.  Buying ready stretched canvases is easy (most art shops sell them).  Simply paint them a background colour and then apply a stencil.  You can do anything.  Here we have decided to create a midnight garden by using our large GR70 Parlour Palm from our Garden Room range of stencils.  But to make it a bit more "arty" and abstract, we have only stencilled a portion of it.  If you want a collection, have three canvasses, each with a different portion of the palm stencil on it.  Choosing the tonal colours of a twilight background and deep ink blue stencilling adds to the abstractness (is that a word?).  Doing these types of things are fun and personal and a quick way to add some decoration and interest to your walls.  This is particularly handy if you rent and are very constricted about what you can do with your walls.  And even better, if you are bored with the midnight garden, paint it out and create something else.  In other words, you can create art and keep your collection ever changing and fluid.
