About this lesson

A stencil designer shows how to keep stenciled marks from looking flat. She uses partial and rotated stencils, repeats a pattern in shifting colors, makes near-invisible tone-on-tone marks, and lets patterns disappear under later layers. She also covers cutting custom stencils from recycled materials.
