Ever wonder how mural artists paint murals at such large scale?
Well... sometimes they use the pouncing technique!
Using a tool to create dash lines on a printed design on paper, black chalk is 'pounced' through the dash lines.
In a revolutionary technique, Lasercutit can now replicate this at speed using their laser machines to create the dash lines.
Watch how we created this mural using pouncing paper and stencils
- 0.11 Step 1. Place the paper with the design on the wall – laser cut with dashlines – secure with spray glue
