Priming/Paint Procedure for Stenciled Art Cover-Up?
Our master bedroom has stark white walls except for some stenciled grapes and grape leaves (purple and deep green) done by the previous owners, which are totally NMS.
We are going to paint the room to go with our decor and the color will be a light cream/tan. Obviously, the white walls will be no issue, but I already know we will need to prime the places were the stenciled "artwork" is so the fruit doesn't show through our paint.
My question: To do this properly, do we just prime over the wall art segments only and then paint over them and the remaining wall space? Or, do we have to prime the whole wall that the art is on to get an even, uniform base underneath the paint? I wouldn't want the roller brush strokes of the primer showing under the paint.
