How to work vertically?

Everything I’ve done thus far, including my second project which happened to be a door left in my garage by the previous owner, I have sprayed with the surface laying flat. I’m interested, and so is my gf in me doing our basement walls in some of my art.

So, how do you translate can control from a horizontal to a vertical position? How can I get good lines or even just consistent coverage without a ton of runs?

Also, how should I do my stencils? Typically I let gravity or some spare bolts do the trick, but that won’t work on a wall. If I tape them, do I need to wait for the paint to completely cure beforehand instead of just letting it flash?

The walls are cinder block, but have been previously painted with a glossy coating. It is still porous, so I’ll be doing more tool texturing and less smoothing by hand.

Here’s the door I did.
