Abstract: A stencil displaying a pre-selected image or message is placed upon an unclean surface. The area within the stencil is washed to create a contrast with the area of the unclean surface outside of the stencil. The contrast between the cleaned area within the stencil and the uncleaned area outside the stencil creates a visually perceptible, non-permanent, display of the image or message of the stencil on the surface to which the stencil has been applied.
