I just discovered the ability to make a stencil from a photo. So started trying different types of photos. Here is a painting I did from a peony. I started with white paint on a blue background, then went in with watercolor, airbrush and the wet palette knife to get more color and shadows into the flower. I then went back in with some white oil pastel to really make some bright whites.

I'd love to see what others might do with stencils from photos. Name:  Peonie from stencil.jpeg
