Stenciling on a Grand ScaleSandra Buckingham One of our favorite books is now in paperback! — 35,000 hardcover copies sold! A technical review of materials is followed by a course in basic stenciling methods, including stencil cutting, hard-surface stenciling, stenciling on primed canvas, overlays, registration and special effects including shading, shadows, plant detail, painting skies and landscapes. A chapter on freeform stenciling, with and without masks, prepares readers for the larger-scale works that are the book's central objective. Buckingham advises perfecting your free-form skills on less ambitious projects (lampshades, borders, placemats) before moving to grander subjects. By the later chapters, stencilers will be comfortable tackling everything from picket and wrought iron fences, lattice work, garden gates, French doors, veranda doors and curtains to paving stones, terra-cotta tiles, carpets, mosaic floors, stone columns, balustrades, terraces, garden walls and room dividers. As always, Buckingham's genius lies in inspiration, and Stencilling on a Grand Scale introduces a how-to world that has no boundaries. 
The Complete Stenciling HandbookSandra Buckingham (from the back cover) Beginning with a simple stencil - a template that lets you easily and exactly repeat a pattern as often as you wish - renowned stenciler Sandra Buckingham demonstrates how you can transform the world around you with a bit of paint and a little imagination. The Complete Stenciling Handbook is a comprehensive guide to the latest stenciling methods, tools, and materials. Buckingham explores the full range of stenciling techniques, from simple prints, traditional borders, lettering and freeform stenciling to special effects, projection stenciling, imitation texties, architectural elements, faux marquetry and much more. She also describes new stenciling mediums and simplifies the world of paint products. Advice on how and when to use brushes, rollers, sponges and airbrushes as well as an insider's discussion of color selection and color properties make this a vital reference for beginning and expert stencilers alike.
