What is shading?
Some of the beauty in stenciling comes from the shading used when painting a design. Shading or the subtle difference in color intensity brings life to a design. It is obtained in two ways: using different depths of the same color in an area of the design or using more than one paint color in an area of the design. With the second technique you are in effect blending colors. All Stencil Ease stencils include a color picture on the package’s frontsheet which suggests how the design is shaded.
