Cut Out Stencil Spray

This technique was inspired by Miles Donovan and for my cut out stencil spray I used a portrait image of Steve McQueen and put it into photoshop to separate it out into three tone layers; the darkest tones, medium tones and lighter tones. I then printed each part out and cut them out using a crafting knife which created the actual stencil. I then put this against a blank piece of white paper and blew black ink onto it which I then scanned into photoshop and added colour. I included prismatic, chromatic and achromatic colour tones and multiplied the layers together to make the colour merge together and form the structure of Steve McQueen's face. After this I turned the piece into a copy of a VOGUE magazine cover to represent what it could be used for and how it would look.
