Step 4Printing your stencil
I guess traditionally, stenciling is done with a spray can in a dark alleyway in a dark Melbourne laneway. I do own two foam rollers, but these were destroyed after vigorous use and bits of foam kept falling into my pictures. You may utilise the above techniques as you wish, but spray paint would probably soak through computer paper.
This is- sponging stencil technique! Cut up your mum's kitchen sponges into finger sizes, and sponge away. Slow and steady is best. The sponge may stick to the paper because of the paint, so take care not to rip up your delicate disposable stencil.
You can use the same bit of sponge if the colours are complementary, as demonstrated in my paint palette, but otherwise, don't contaminate! Start with lighter colours like yellow and blue, then progress to stronger colours like red. It look better if the colours overlap properly.
