Step by Step

I recently did a James Dean for my friend Camille. Its prob gonna be the last one I do too because I used a new spray adhesive that was way too sticky and the damn stencil tore in half. Anyway heres a few pics of the process.

So obviously you start out with a blank canvas.

Since you want the background to be a certain color you need to make a stencil to cover where the face is going to be. That way the area of the canvas where the face is will stay white.

This is what it looks like after you spray the background. Once this is done and the paint is dry you can lay the stencil of the face onto the canvas, making sure that it lines up correctly. Then spray it and what you get is the picture below.

 

Not bad right?

 Make sure you spray the back side of each stencil with spray adhesive, that way when you spray it with spray paint you dont get any under spray or leakage.
