Sierpinski Loop I.

Really happy with how this came out -- it's oils, mixing orange and white, 12x12, via a vinyl stencil.

I picked up a couple of super shitty cheap student brushes today because I couldn't find a non-shitty stencil brush at the art store.

So it's $0.69 of the worst, saddest collection of hog-or-is-it? bristles you've ever seen, just a tremendously crapshit brush -- but literally the perfect tool for this particular job.

@migurski Thanks! Tipping my hand with the title but I'm thinking of a series.

@joshmillard Are you making the stencils with an xacto or using a vinyl cutter?

@migurski Vinyl cutter. I bought a Cricut machine late last year, and create vector shapes in Inkscape, import those .svgs into the (excellent) Cricut's (shitty) software, cut a vinyl stencil that way. Then pick out negative space, use mildly adhesive transfer material to transfer the vinyl to a canvas or board, and paint from there.

@migurski It's starting to feel like enough of a figured-out process that I should probably get my wife's help to document a painting start to finish.
