Spray Paint Portrait

This is the image that I found after researching on Pinterest, that I wanted to do much spray paint portrait with.

Firstly I took the image into Photoshop and I had to change the images settings so that I could see the different shades within the image. I firstly selected the darkest shade within the photo and I filled it in with black on a new layer.

Next I selected the second shade within the image and I also on a new layer filled it in with the colour black.

Finally, I selected the final shade on the image and this was the lightest shade of the 3 shades and I also filled this in with black.

Once I had filled the layers in with black I printed them out separately and I cut out the black parts of the image. When I had finally finished cutting the black parts of the image out, I spray the stencils which I had created to make the three different sprayed prints.

Once I had spray painted the stencils and had the sprayed prints, I scanned them into Photoshop and changed the threshold of each of the spray prints and changed the colour of them. The bottom layer, I filled with a light shade of pink.

The next layer I filled with a darker shade of pink to go on top of the bottom layer.

Then for the layer that was to go on top of them both, I filled that with a darker shade of pink than the others and I arranged them so that they looked like the image I used to for the spray paint.

This is the final spray paint portrait that I created using spray stencils that I created and Photoshop.
