draw the line

Just in – newest Somerset Studio.  My Make It Your Own column for this issue is Draw The Line – got the title from a sign that hangs over my desk.  We get so jazzed about stencils with paint, ink, gelli plates, spray paint….we often forget to just use with pencil or pen. Into the coloring book trend?  Make some pages of your own with the assistance of stencils, and some freehand mark-making.  Love the stencils you already have?  Pump up the contrast by adding outlines – draw the line!  Magazine hits the stands this week.

    Love it! You’re right, we do often forget to just draw through our stencils. It makes such a great impact!

    I think I did that with a recent color wheel I was asked to make in a painting class. Took it home and drew lines and patterns over the whole thing. I liked it much better that way.
