CHAPTER XII.
The Artistic Application of Paint Spraying.
Some of the smaller and more delicate types of spraying apparatus are largely employed for such purposes as the following:—Black and white and water-colour drawing, photograph finishing, preparing pictures for process blocks, Christmas cards, window tickets, embossed cards and small stencil and shaded work on fabrics, wood, glass, metal, leather, etc., lithographic work, picture painting in oils, decoration of pottery and stencil and shaded work of all kinds. They are also employed for producing very charming effects in wallpaper. The writer has seen most creditable examples of work done in this way on menu cards, lamp shades, and even stencilled ornaments on men's ties.
A few examples of this class of work are given in the accompanying illustrations.
It may be pointed out that when decorative work is required on metal work or engineering appliances, it can in most cases be done by spraying without much difficulty, aided in some cases by stencils specially cut for the purpose. Thus the outline of a trade mark, a monogram or a coat-of-arms, or heraldic device can be easily sprayed and be then finished by hand.
