Create Your Own Street Art: Painting Demonstration with ‘Amour Naissant’ Stencils

In the vibrant world of street art, expression takes shape and life on urban canvases, and today, we invite you to dive into this artistic movement with an amazing demonstration. Our artist, John Beckley, in collaboration with graphic designer Franck, presents “First Love”, a work created on an 80×80 cm canvas, capturing the essence of childlike love through one of the exclusive stencils from our “Amour Naissant” collection.

A Window into Creation: Witness the Birth of an Artwork Live

Before delving into the heart of our creative process, we invite you to watch a unique kind of painting demonstration: the creation of the “First Love” artwork, perfectly embodying the essence of our “Amour Naissant” collection. This video offers you a front-row seat to watch the transformation of a blank canvas into a vibrant tribute to love, captured by the expert hand of John Beckley. Follow each step, from the initial sketch to the final touch, and let yourself be inspired by the magic of art in action.

The Creation Process: A Window into Urban Art

1 – The Grey Background: John starts by painting a background in shades of grey, evoking the atmosphere of an urban wall.

2 – Graffiti and Shapes: With an urban flair, he enriches this background with stencil-created motifs and writings reminiscent of those found on city walls, imbued with the spirit of graffiti.

3 – Placement and Masking: The stencil is carefully positioned, and the characters are masked to paint the heart in a vibrant red, avoiding any red on the characters themselves.

Pro Tip: For sharp and precise contours, John weighs down the stencil with weights or uses the tip of a brush for perfect stability, not forgetting magnets if the work is done on a vertical canvas.

4 – Revealing the Silhouettes: Once the masking is reversed to cover the heart, John uses black spray paint, bringing the characters to life.

5 – Light and Contrast: The interior spaces of the characters are then painted with white to create contrast and brightness.

6 – Finishing Touches and Contours: A final application of the stencil allows John to add a last layer of black spray paint, refining the details and contours of the figures.

7 – Shadows and Relief: To finish, he applies gradients of black paint, giving volume and depth to the children depicted.

The Canvas Revealed: “First Love”, a Tribute to Pure Love

The creative journey reaches its climax with “First Love”, a canvas where street art and the innocence of childhood converge. Before you stands a captivating work, the result of a process as natural as the emotion it embodies. The two children, immortalized in a tender gesture, bring to life this bright red heart – vibrant and bold – that captures the eye and stirs emotions.
