Right lets start a little simplier

The most important to remember is that the idea rules. It does matter how goos you are with a spray can or blade. If you don't have a good idea it doesn't matter.

Trace your idea onto a strudy but not to thick pieces of card.  Here Canvaz has used 4 sheets of water colour paper . These cost a euro each and used carpet tape to connect them.  I don't advice starting with something this large as it will take far to long and you may loose a love for life.

This was cut using a simple scalpel and cutting board. I really recommend getting a good   cutting board. It make like a lot easier

Here's one by Obey

So you've cut your design.   You need to know we don't use the spray paint you'll find in Atlantic Homecare . The paint we use is low presure and quick drying, each artist has a preference  but  you'll find Montona Gold in most art shops now a days  or Montana Hardcore, Belton or the new Montana 094 in specialist shops.  I recomend All City on Crow Street in Temple Bar.  Matt paint tends to look better outdoors or under glass.

You'll also need to buy caps for the paint and latex rubber gloves (boots is great about 6 euro for 1000).

Now spend some time - finding the right cap for you- some will release a light haze . While others will give wide sploges of paint.  Test and test.

This will almost be to much informations. But some people need to now everything.

Now the test spray - we usually use and old paper. Just place the stencil flat on a dry surface and lightly spray the stencil using your gloved other hand to keep the stncil, tight and closs to the paper. Work quickly, not over spraying the stencil.

LIFT THE STENCIL AND CAREFULLY PUT AWAY.

There no point wasting all that work
