CREATIVE PROCESS
The process involves creating a high-contrast black and white image from a carefully curated photograph, which is then digitally stripped back and cleaned up, allowing for a hand-cut stencil to be meticulously crafted at scale from your unique print.
The application of paint is sprayed through the stencil onto cold-pressed watercolour paper with deckled edging. This spraying technique encourages a fluidity of movement and invites subtle imperfections that help give texture and life to the portrait.
Multiple colours are introduced through additional layered stencils or watercolour embellishments.
All my stencils are handcrafted
