In stenciling, this is usually accomplished by creating shape, volume, texture, shade and shadow.

Paint tech. means that it is now possible to stencil on virtually any surface. This beautifully illustrated guide features a variety of trompe l'oeil designs and ideas for your home. Over 150 step-by-step photos illustrate how to create beautiful stencilled effects. Basic skills are clearly explained, incl. ragging and colorwashing surfaces, creating form and building up 3-D images.
