I've been making multi layer stencils for a few years and I'm wondering if anyone has done this.
The thought came up earlier when I was trying to find something I had available to use as a background for a 60 gallon I have. In this pic I took about 10 minutes of my precious time and freehanded this with a can of primer/$1 black paint to see how the light/dark would show up from behind the glass.
Apparently it looks like Chynas clit so.. In short the high/lowlights didn't show up the way I hoped so I thought why not cut a stencil and put it right on the back of the tank? I think the differences in tone would show up a lot better being painted directly to glass from my experience painting backgrounds.
I'm going to give this a shot, just wanted to throw this out there in case someone else wants to try it out cause my progress may be slow
Here's an example of the type of stencil I'm talking about:
