Stencil – Flying bird

4-layer stencil of a bird in flight about to land

Aerosol stencil and vinyl on paper
21 x 29.7cm

I drew these bird themed stencil images using Adobe Fresco and an Apple pen on the iPad, then exported them as vector files to open in illustrator.

I was then able to select each brushstroke and assign it a layer on one of 3 layers; of a 4 layered stencil. The first layer is the square and the flower motif in the corner.

By assigning it a layer it meant that the stencil could be robust, and each layer could be a different colour, or one colour with slightly different strengths. I then exported each layer as a JPG and cut each stencil using the cricut.
