Method 4 of 4: Final Product
-
1Place the MEDIUM stencil on your desired surface. (A piece of paper, a wall or a canvas.) -
2Select the lighter shade of acrylic spray paint. Use the directions for spraying distance located on the can. If they are absent, err on the side of caution and start off holding the can far away. -
3Spray the color over the stencil until you get the desired pigment. Some artists prefer dark, dripping stencils while others prefer a lightly misted imprint.- If you use tubes of paint instead of spray paint, use the stencil brush to apply as much color as you would like to the cut-out areas of the stencil.
-
4Wait for the paint to dry before removing the MEDIUM stencil. -
5Place the DARK stencil on your desired surface. Match it up to the same position the last stencil was placed.- Except for a small amount of possible overlap, the color you applied before should not be present where your cut-outs are for this stencil.
