Quick test without adhesive on this 5/6 layer stencil "OpenSeason"

Since the funky version had little success, I made a slower version with Old MacDonald in background. Expensive manure with pig noise, I like it

Still available for 14 USD (ship. excl), 40x40cm, spraypaint on heavy paper, AP



NB - Funky version is here - youtube.com/watch?v=i9bnYmN7RwA

I'll have to spend some more time in photoshop to see which shades differ between the two brands and compile the largest range of greys.

You can create and save palettes of colors (one for each brand), then once it is done shifting from one color palette to another can be done with just few clicks

I wonder if Montana have a colour pallette to download that can be imported into photoshop or illustrator?

Sounds good, I shall have to have a look into how to do that.
Would be nice to create a palette using both brands too, to give a much wider range of available greys.
I suppose when I create the palette I can name the colours to make things easier.

I've been looking for it a few month ago (for photoshop) and did not find it (it was for the 94) 
so if someone find something i also would be interested in it  

[Aza]

I have just made some palettes, only greys though.
One for MTN94, one for Molotow, and one for them both combined.

PM your email address if anyone wants them

[iamzero]

I guess I could work one out knowing there is black and white with 9 inbetween by percentage of black?

Montana Gold color swatches are available HERE , bottom of the page.

MTN94 HERE

If it helps.

I've made the swatches in photoshop format using the actual colours.
It is the best way to get a truer view of the finished painting.

Anyone know how I can I load up an image in photoshop which is already in 9 shades of grey, and then convert all the shades to the shades in the swatches I made? Hope that makes sense!

[Aza]

Check the image below.
I have loaded up my swatch as you can see on the top right.

How can I quickly change the shades in the image to the shades in the swatches?

The strangest day. Dropped off some stencilled images to a city centre store late Saturday and the owner said he'd display them no worries. He sends me these photos around lunch time today and tells me a lady has been in and wants all of these 3, name your price? She's driving out of town and will be back Friday or Saturday and leaves her number for me to call her. So this I do when I got home just now and explain to her that they weren't meant to be for sale and really only in the store to gauge interest for now and I haven't worked a price out to which she replies well I want them so just figure your price out. Now I'm left with not wanting to over charge and not wanting to sell myself short. What a dilemma.

Something I made for an exhibition - old in progress shot I kinda like.

I'll look at it later this week and will tell you.
Don't you have your image in a photoshop format ? With one layer / colour (i think that could really help to be faster)

[Aza]

Yeah I have the layers in a PSD.
I want to be able to swap all the shades over in one click though.
It still takes some time to use the paint bucket to manually go through each layer to change the colours.

Good to hear you made some swatches !! Indeed, I checked yesterday, and you need to change colours one by one, it takes time indeed.

first, sorry, i'm french and my photoshop is in french too. But gonna try to translate.
not sure it's exactly what you expect but you can double click on the layer, then select "color overlay". Then by clicking on the color, you can select you color in the palette ( by one click you can see here you can see the changes)
it actually dont change your layer color but affect an effect to it.

sorry if it doesn't help

[Aza]

Thanks, that is a pretty quick solution.
Previously I was hoping I could 'update' the current selected image with a new colour palette, which would do the whole image at once.

Your solution is good though, I just have to do it 12 times to check the Molotow range. And then 12 times again to check the MTN94 range. Was just be lazy and hoping for an all in one solution

As it's a rainy day here in rainy town, I'm working on my first stencil. Well, technically second, but we don't include the horse one.

Here's a sneaky peek. I'm very excited.

I've finished my Ice Cube stencil.

The red one is Molotow paints.
The blue one is MTN94 paints.

There is not as big a difference in real life as it appeared using the swatches in Photoshop.
The MTN 94 wins for me though as the shades are not so jarring between each other, particularly at the black end.

I'll take a better photo in daylight tomorrow so the differences are more apparent.

both look great!  what's the pressure on the MTN94's compared to Montana Gold?

[Aza]

Cheers
MTN94 seems to be lower pressure to me, although they are both billed as low pressure.

wow even lower than Gold?  I gotta try some

I use Abro, the shittiest cans ever after the Chinese shitty cans !
No MTN or Molotow where I am. As for color palette, no particular issue neither with colors since there is only 10 colors available

From those pics, the hair is better in the red version while the face and hand look better in the blue version. Curios to see some daylight pics. BTW, what happened to his neck. Did you accidentially apply a sharp knife (to the stencil, I meant)?
