Download the Monstera leaf template. Using the template, cut a “ stencil ” out of pinwheel foil and position it on the canvas surface. Spray the back of this homemade “ stencil ” with spray adhesive and position it on the stretched canvas.

Applying the colored structure paste

Mix structure paste with a few drops of colour concentrate, until you have a sufficient amount of paste in a suitable shade of green. Either use a dry dabbing brush to carefully dab the colored mixture onto the canvas, or apply the design with a palette knife.

Fine-Tuning: Perfecting the Finish

stencil Removing and Cleaning Once you’re satisfied with the paint application, carefully remove the stencil . Be careful not to smudge the fresh painted design. If a contour isn’t quite perfect, you can touch up small imperfections with a fine brush.
