MY FIRST STENCIL

I wanted to try other techniques and yesterday, while I was walking at night I located a store near selling sprays graffiti. This morning I could not resist it and I went to buy them. Excited, I returned home with 4 colors (white, black, light gray and dark gray) and an A4 canvas.

I chose one of my photographs of the past carnivals, I turn it into black and white and edited until it was defined with the four colors.

I made templates for each of the colors using transparent paper (because I had nothing better) and a cutter. For the following I will try some kind of plastic sheet and scalpel to achieve sharper edges and more manageable templates.

This is the result of my first attempt, I loved the whole process!
