Unlike freehand painting, theorem artists would meticulously layer stencils, each one representing a different color or shape, to build up the complete image. This method allowed for the creation of intricate and detailed designs, often mimicking the look of traditional oil paintings, but with a more accessible and reproducible process. The term “theorem” likely comes from the mathematical term, perhaps alluding to the precise and methodical nature of the stenciling technique.
