Positive/Negative Chandalier Canvases

The first project I took on was adding some quick, inexpensive, and easy wall-art to my bedroom walls to bring a little color to the room.  These canvases were easy to make and were well within my budget.  As you can tell from the pictures, I am still a novice with stencil painting but through trial and error, I am beginning to learn what techniques work best.  Here is what I did:
Materials:
-4 white canvases--chose your size based on either the desired finished size or the size of your stencil, for this project, I used 12 x 12" canvases
-Two colors of acrylic paint that compliment one another
-White acrylic paint
-Craft sized paint roller--usually found in the stencil aisle at store like Michael's
-Variety of paint brushes in different sizes for doing the stencil
-Stencil of your choice
-Painter's tape--this is optional but I find that it helps hold the stencil in place without damaging the canvas or leaving any residue
Instructions:
1.  Gather all of your supplies and lay down a protective barrier on your workspace.  I use cheap sheets that I find at thrift stores to protect my floors and tables when I am working.
2.  Using the roller, paint one canvas in your first color.  Be sure to carefully get each side of the canvas so that it is colored entirely anywhere you will be able to see when it is hanging.  Set that canvas aside to dry for roughly 15-20 minutes or until fully dried.  Note, you do not want to put a stencil down on a canvas that is still damp.
3.  Place the stencil where you want the design to be on one of the remaining white canvases.  You can use painter's tape to help secure it so that it will not move during painting.
4.  Taking the color that you just painted the first canvas in, use your various sized brushes to fill in the stencil.  Take care to go slowly and use precise movements to prevent smudging.  Set aside to dry.
5.  Repeat step 2-4 with your other color.  
6.  Once your two solid canvases have dried, place the stencil on top of the first and fill it in using the white acrylic paint.  As you can see in the picture, one coat is not enough to go through the bold colors I chose.  Before removing the stencil, allow the paint to dry and do another coat or two until you are satisfied with the outcome.
7.  Repeat step 6 for the other solid and voila!  You have four positive negative canvases!

Notes:
Be sure to fully rinse the roller, brushes, and stencils in between uses.  This will prevent color transfer from one canvas to the next!
