I am new to using stencils. I have printed some out ready to start cutting, I understand the silouettes, but the pictures confuse me. Do I cut the black or white areas? here is a simple example. Thanks in advance for any help.

It depends, most of the time most painters use silhouettes, but with that one theres a few things you can do. From cutting the black out and using part with the cut out part and laying it down and spraying a color over the top of the painting. Or you could make it multi-color by 2 ways by spraying a color then putting the stencil with black cut out (or white) and spraying a different color then covering the whole thing with the whole outline. I hope it helps but, again most common stencils are silhoutte type.

Silhouettes are much easier to do then layered color stencils...
Here's some of the first ones I tried....

The issue with the stencil you're looking at is the "islands" (the white areas surrounded by black).
When you cut out the black, those white areas will fall out.
