Stencil Project #1


This is my first stencil project. First, I painted my background a yellow gradient with acrylic paint. Then, I cut out stencils of a bass guitar, a sparrow and paintbrushes with an X-acto knife. After I cut out all the pieces for my stencils, I glued them down to my canvas with a gluestick and spraypainted the stencils. Afterwards, I removed the stencil pieces with the X-acto knife. This was a challenging project for me because I found that it was hard to get all the stencil pieces to stay firmly attached to the canvas so that the spraypaint wouldn't leak out the sides of the stencil and create a messy edge.
