This print is part of a two-step stencil assignment where we choose an emotion or feeling and picked an image that describes the word. I choose the feeling "determination" and used the image of a movie character from Princess Mononoke. The first stencil print was made in black and white with the word determination. This is the second print where I explored the use of multiple stencils and color in a piece. For every color I used, a new stencil would be made and narrowing down primary colors that balanced an image was challenge for me. I experimented with different tools like sponges and brushes to apply the acrylic paint. The last finishing touch was black spray paint for a bold outline, giving it a "comic book" look.
