Because my friend was having her eighteenth birthday and some time ago she mentioned she wanted to get herself a poster of Budda, I have decided to undertake this project. Because I am not really good with brush-painting and do not do graphic design, I chose to use a stencil and spray paint as my artistic tools. First I have made a sketch of Buddha, but simplifying him to only the most important elements, so the stencil would be easier to cut out, but still have an obvious look. Before I spray painted my stencil, I made the background by dipping my brushes in paint and splashing it all over the piece of paper that was to become the poster. It was supposed to be a bit messy, so the Buddha in the centre would even it out later. The Buddha, as I have mentioned before, was spray painted. I used colours that are related for me to space and are quite calming, so they would mirror the peaceful soul of the character.
