Advice on making a template for painting
Hi Guys,
We’ve been asked by a customer to make template/stencil to paint a bull’s head on a wall. the overall size of the head is 3.2m x 3.2m.
Iv’e never done one before so i’m after some advice on how to go about it. I was thinking of using 150 GSM poster paper as thats what I have in stock.
Would you split the design into panels? Tile across?
We have a summa D-160 plotter.
Any advice would be appreciated
Thank you

You could get a roll of bond paper and make a pounce pattern with that, just pen plot and the use a pounce wheel to go over the design.
(it can be tiled and taped together with masking tape)
Lightly sand the backside of it and use a pounce bag to put chalk or graphite powder through the holes.If it were me, I would use an overhead projector and just shine that image onto a wall, trace with charcoal and there you go.
Love….Jill -

Love….JillAs Jill says this is the easiest method if you can beg or borrow a projector.
We’ve got one but it cost couple hundred quid. -
paint mask vinyl cut on the plotter is very simple or am I missing something??
