Masks & stencils: Creative tools or beginner's stuff?
There are many preconceptions about working with masks and stencils:
"Only beginners work with stencils! Art works created with masks look angular and unrealistic! Airbrush designs created with stencils is quick and cheap!"
Yes, stencils make work easier for beginners and provide them with quick, attractive results. It is also true that masks and stencils speed up the work. This is precisely why professionals also use stencils and masks, for example, when it comes to custom painting jobs. However, stencils and masks also provide them with valuable textures, repetitive patterns, and create sharp edges where they are needed. Ultimately, the difference in quality lies in the integration of the masking work: Are the textures and edges softly embedded into the design by freehand work, or do they remain on the surface like a cut-out shape? This is what distinguishes the masking technique of a professional from that of a beginner.
