Media Impact Paintings: Progress
After collecting mass amounts of candy wrappers and gluing them down to 18"x24" canvases, I created stencil templates in order to paint the images.
The stencils were created in layers for the separate colors.
You can see my test images on the ground.
Layer one: black.
Layer two: grey.
Layer three: white.
