stencil prints
Decorative end- and cover papers produced by the
application of paint to paper through a stencil.
Prepared transparent wax stencil paper can be used
for the stencils. The paint is applied very
sparingly with a stiff-bristled brush by starting
at the edge of the cut-out at the top of the
stencil and then into the open area. This prevents
the paint from seeping under the cut edge and
leaves a sharper outline. The paint can also be
applied with a spray gun, or by rolling an inked
BRAYER over the
stencil. Either watercolors or dyes may be used
for these prints. (86 , 183 )
