Country Stencils

Country Stencils are not just about the design but in the way they are painted! Not just any old cow stencil is going to look country.

Sometimes to get the look and feel you want it’s not just in the stencil design. You need to use the right colors and other touches that will drive home the feeling of being in the exact place you want to be.

For country stencils you may want to pick a couple of animal stencils like those you can find in the farmyard.

Here is a painting of a collection of country stencils but they don’t quite have the look and feel of real country (they were painted for a nursery). I think that country design can be described as worn down with a vintage look. It’s casual and unpretentious. So, the best way to work with country stencils is to paint them with colors that are not as bright and new. For instance, instead of a bright red barn maybe a very pale red or pink could have been used.

By the way you can get these stencils pictured here in a book below.

Another way to get the look and feel of country stencils is to lightly sand over the painting after it dries thoroughly. If you are stenciling a piece of furniture with country stencils, make sure to sand the edges and make a few bare spots where the wood shows through for that long loved and used look.

So if you’re looking for country stencils keep your mind open to the idea that almost any stencil can be used in a country setting if you add the right touch.

Since you seem to be into country then I bet you’ll like the Stamping and Stenciling Gardening ideas for sprucing up a few pots.
