That's right, Rich !!
you could paint realistic looking marsh grass and cattails on one side
with big dragonflies resting here and there on the grass and big lunker bass
will actually jump into your boat trying to get the dragonflies !!!
and - on the other side, you could paint a water scene with some ducks floating around
and the ducks coming in will actually crash land inside your boat !!!
I have attended a few seminars by Mike Lavallee, a very good friend of mine,
and this is where I learned the "art of realism" and that was his joke . . . about the boat thing.
he is the one that perfected the airbrush technique of True-Fire.
stencils can easily be handcrafted out of any stiff material such as cardboard, pvc sheet,
mylar plastic, manila file folders, sticky shelf liner, etc. the designs are only limited to your imagination.
and you don't have to use the commercial "camo paint".... go to wal-mart and buy several different colors
of the cheap rattle can paint and create your own patterns. there is no right or wrong way. whatever tickles your fancy.
