Chris Cozen Stencils Blog Hop
Thrilled to be kicking off the blog hop celebrating the release of the newest line of Signature Series stencils from Artistcellar: Playful Pods from artist and author Chris Cozen.
This four-stencil set includes designs based on the coolest pods I have ever seen.
Excited to explore these new stencils, I decided to use all four stencils in four different pieces. I felt so inspired by the designs in these signature stencils that I chose to use materials that are anything but signature for me: pan pastels and watercolor paint. The color palette reflects the beauty of spring.
To celebrate the release of Chris' stencils, I am sponsoring a giveaway. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post, including your email address, to be eligible to win one, four-stencil set as pictured above. Comment by end of day on May 18th, at which time I will chose the winner randomly.
But wait. There is more. North Light Books and F+W Media are also providing copies of Chris' new book written with Julie Prichard Acrylic Soultions: Exploring Mixed Media Layer by Layer AND a copy of Chris' workshop DVD Acrylic Painting: Color, Texture and Value. So a second person will be chosen at random to win both the book and DVD.
I am just one of the many stops on this blog hop, each of which will be having their own giveaway. I hope you are able to take the time to visit everybody!

So different from your other work but the stencils are great!
They are great Seth, absolutely wonderful. They are kept simple and not overworked and that is what makes them stunning. The colors make the pods stand out amazingly, yet not too aggressive, a perfect harmony within the background. Thanks so much for sharing. C~ (c.stoehr@gmx.de)
Fabulous designs!!

Beautiful work with the stencils.
I really love these stencils and they do take beautifully to pan pastels and watercolors. The images you've created with this combination is poignantly nostalgic and very lovely. I'm off to order these stencils. I've just discovered how versatile stencils can be ... up to now only used them in school and to jazz up some walls in an old house I renovated. LOL Imagine ... you can also use them in your art! Amazing.
Great , new ideas for me. Thank you,joancts@yahoo.com

Your first stencil reminds me of the flower pods of the barrel cactus, that look like those domes in Russian architecture. They start out being red and yellow; when the flowers bloom they are tissue-paper-thin red. Thank you for the reminder of my photographic work last summer and for the inspiration.
