Stencil art is a method of creating a design by
applying colours over a cut-out template placed
on a surface. It is an artistic technique that creates
images by applying paint or another colouring
medium through cutouts in a thin material, such as
cardboard or plastic, to a surface. The stencil serves
as a template, revealing a sharp, reproducible design
once the material is removed. This method allows
for the consistent reproduction of a pattern or
image, from letters and words to complex designs.
