Design


Question by xo: Design??????

I have to make something for school out of wood. I know what i'm making, but i don't know how do design (paint) it. i want a design that's easy, not like billions of little curvy lines that'll take me a week to paint. does anybody have any pics that might help? maybe poppies (the flower) or something like it, or a skyline, etc.

Buy some tracing paper, and use a 2B pencil to trace over your favorite design. The design can be a simple silhouette, or can be many colors. It can be as elaborate as you want to make it. Just search images for a theme on google or yahoo. Print out your design and trace it. After tracing, place the traced side/ the penciled side of tracing paper of your design to the wood and go over the design to transfer your design to the wood. Use a pen that has run out of ink to go over your traced design. You can also use the end of a fork, or pointed object, but you risk tearing the tracing paper.

Another alternative is create a stencil from your computer, cut it out, and use spray paint. You can also go to your local hobby shop and buy pre cut stencils. You can also use a paint brush over the stencils as well.

Good luck

I hope this helps?
