Can you make a tutorial on how to make the stencil image, whether you do it on photoshop or whatever other method you use? This is awesome man, exactly what I want to start making!
Looks great! What type of paper do you use, also, what did you spray on it before? I've always had trouble keeping my stencils down, I've had to resort to using coins to keep it down, and the paper I use isn't all that big, so it's limiting me to smaller canvases.
Thanks. I use 150 lbs. cover stock cut to 36"x24". I believe the brand is HammerMill. I use a light tack spray adhesive on the back of the stencils. Make sure its low tack so you don't ruin your painting. you can also use packing tape to tape your paper together and create larger stencils. Check out my other videos, I have a few tutorials!
Are you spraying them with white and then putting the painted side down on top? How do you get it to not stick to the bottom layer?? I've had issues with stencils pulling up paint/sticking when not sprayed but I'm using glossy photo paper!
I sold this original for $800, A second edition would be a little bit cheaper. I try not to use my stencils more then 2 or 3 times and if I do I change backgrounds and color schemes, try to keep them as unique as possible.
Are there artist who refuse to use stencils cuz they find it to be cheating in a sense..some of the stenciled work iv seen probably wouldnt even be possible to achieve freehand
SharonNeedles@freedomsnotfree.com lol... you think this kind of method is easy? stencil or not, the effort put here is the same as any other kind of art
soph ..yes i do i could do this where i could never achieve the same thing freehand but im not taking anything away from the creator was just curious if some frown on the use of stencils or not
