Stencil Strokes & Techniques for Decorative Paint Treatments
Painting over a stencil the way you’d paint a wall will push paint under the cutout, creating a blurred, sloppy image instead of a sharp design. Instead, use circular, up-and-down, or stippling brushstrokes to keep the paint within the lines.
1. Move the paintbrush in a circular motion.
2. “Stipple” the paint by dabbing the brush up and down onto the surface.
3. Lightly flick the paintbrush in an up-and-down motion.
