Comments: If you want to learn the principles of stencilling...
This is a wonderful book for you. Sandra Buckingham explain in a very didactic way all steps to do your stencils, not only painting them, as well as achiving a beautiful result. You will learn a little bit of stencil history, bronze powdering, painting with acrylic, oils and how to cut them in a very simple way. She also shows how stencils are versatile painting over paper, fabrics and walls. You will learn really great ideas with this book. I had the pleasure to meet and take classes with Mrs. Buckingham at SALI Conventions in USA and recommend all her other books, even if you are an expert stenciller. Her approach in this technique is very singular and this was the first book that really helped me in learning what became to me a career as a decorative painter.
