How to Make Multi Layered Stencil Art

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Place the MEDIUM stencil on your desired surface.

   (A piece of paper, a wall or a canvas.) , 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. , 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. ,, 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. ,,,,
