Gate and Fence Stencil, A How to Paint Guide
|
| ADDING SHADOWS - All shadows
are painted with gray paint. This is made by mixing black
paint into white until the desired shade is reached remembering
that the color of the paint when dry will be slightly darker.
Mix this in a container with a lid and mix enough for the
entire project. The gray paint will be applied using a stencil
brush. |
| Arc Shadows - Refer to Fig. 14. Use
Print A2 from Stencil Sheet A. Align it along the top of the
white arc starting on the left side. Secure in place and paint.
Continue with the right side. When these are dry, add the
center section blending into the overlap areas. |

Picket Shadows - Stencil Method
- Refer to Fig. 15. All shadows are to the right of the pickets
and the shadows on the bottom half of each picket is painted
first. Using Print D3, position the stencil, lining up the
dots on the wall with the Triangle Register Marks. Secure
the stencil and paint the shadow with gray. Clean the stencil
every few shadows as when painting the pickets. Continue across
the fence and gate until all the bottom picket shadows are
painted. Clean and dry the stencil thoroughly.
To paint the upper portions of the picket shadows, the stencil
must be flipped end over end in the same manner as when the
pickets were painted. Use mask A1 when painting the gate pickets
and remember to clean the stencil periodically. Using your
Triangle Register Marks, secure D3 in place, and paint the
upper half of all the shadows. You will still have the uppermost
portion of some of the gate shadows to finish. Secure the
stencil in place and paint to extend the shadows all the way
to the gate arc. You may now remove the arc mask and the railing
masks. |

Picket Shadows - Taping Method - Cover
the inner right edge of each picket (gate and fence) with
“Easy Mask” tape from Line FB to the arc or railing. Align,
the left edge of another length of “Easy Mask” tape with the
left edges of the crosspieces from Line FB to the arc or railing.
This will leave a 3/8” (.95cm) space along the right side
of each picket. Stencil with gray using Print D3 for the angle
at the bottom of each picket.
Gray areas in illustration 15a signify tape. |

Diagonal Cross Piece Shadows - Locate
Print B3. Four of these cut outs are supplied to cut down
on the cleaning frequency. Refer to Fig. 16. Print B3 is placed
directly on top of each cross piece on the fence and gate.
The stencil is secured in place and painted with gray. There
is no need for registration marks.
Cross Beam Shadows - Locate
Print B5 on the cutout section from Stencil Sheet B. Refer
to Fig. 16. Place B5 directly over the five white sections
of the cross beam. Secure in place and paint. |
