Awesome 2 stencils T shirts

Step 7Second act

Second act
I wanted my cow head ot have more detail - the way it looked on the quoter, so in the second later I did the shadings.

Basically, it's the same deal - spray the adhesive on the back side of the stencil and place it on the shirt (it's a little more difficult cause you need to be accurate, it helps a lot of the stencil is see through.

Then mix paint as you did before (1 medium to 2 acrylic paint) and use the stencil brush to tap a thin layer of paint on the shirt where the stencil is. leave to dry for a couple of minutes and peal off the stencil.

If, like me you are working on more then one shirt (I printed 8 of them and one skirt!) then leave the stencil to dry or better yet - wash and dry it between prints - this is good for 2 reasons: if there's wet paint on the stencil it might stick to your shirt and make the print dirty. Also, if you are using a transparent stencil - it's easier to get the registration right if you can see the first layer under the second layer stencil.
