About Me.. WallShapes

My name is WallShapes... I am an artist that creates art using acrylic spray-paints and paper stencils.

I like to work within these mediums because I like the strong colours, gradients and the many effects that can be created by using them.

I design my images digitally before painting them onto smoothed wooden panels… some of which are available to purchase here in my shop. Also around are other galleries and information to explore.

Thanks for coming along and taking a look around...🕊️Peace Within✌...WallShapes🙂

Art studio in Warwickshire with paint splatters on the floor, various tools, and equipment.🔼My workshop

A group of spray paint cans from above.🔼(Some of my paints) I love the depth of colour and the techniques available to an artist using spray paints. My style is about building thick layers of high pigment spray paint, and using the sharpness of fresh paper stencils for getting high details.

 

Colour swatching spray paint cans.Doing colour swatches is important to accurately see the colour of the paint in the cans.🔼(Colour swatching new cans of spray paint.)

 

Scroll saw set up in the studio.🔼(My workshop, set up for scroll sawing) My studio workshop is very tight and compact but also conveniently convertible and easy to keep clean 👍

 

Handmade wooden crown wall art, pre spray painting, raw wood.🔼(My art in it's rawest form)

 

Filling and sanding smooth the crown spray paintings pre painting.Crowns filled and sanded down.
🔼(Hand sanding and preparing the wood) I like to fill and smooth most of the deeper natural grain in the surfaces of the wood, but also leave some texture to add interest to the painted finish.

 

Wooden wall art crowns undercoated in Black. Drying on studio floor.🔼(Layering undercoats) An undercoat is important because it makes the wood surface more uniform and the painting more durable. I use Gesso which I find very adaptable.

 

Spray painting the reverse of crowns purple.
🔼(Painting the backs) I like to spray-paint the backs of the paintings different colours and combinations to make each small batch even more individual.
