Above – four repeats of the Large Starry Repeat in a multi-coloured palette. A mixture of any bright and pastel tones will work well for this, with a preponderance of one colour throughout to give the feeling of continuity. Our example above on a pale blue background shows each repeat stencilled first in Evening Primrose Stencil Paint and with different stars over-stencilled in Paradise Blue, Summer Skies, Cerise, Very Berry, Agapanthus, French Lavender, Indian Purple, Seville Orange, Oasis, Verbena and English Rose Stencil Paints. For continuity repeat the same colours for each successive stencil repeat.
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 soft brush.
