Painter's tape painting

Another Pinterest tester!

This is a pretty simple work of art, but there were some problems with the finished product. Here is the link to the page on Pinterest  http://www.pinterest.com/pin/339388521890717936/

I used an 11"x14" canvas, but it doesn't matter what size you use, as long as the width of the tape you use isn't too thick for the size of canvas.

Spray paint gold (try silver) - two layers

Create your design using painters tape. I used a 3/4" tape, but I think it would be nicer with a thinner tape. But this is what I had!

Think about where you want the focus (center or off-centered)

Paint using acrylics

Some colours will need multiple coats

It might be a good idea to paint white first as a primer

Carefully peel off the tape

And voila! I sprayed a protective gloss so the acrylic doesn't peel off.

I like the idea and it does look pretty cool, but most of the edges were really rough and some of the paint peeled off with the tape.. so if you don't mind that look, then give it a try! The whole project takes a couple days depending on drying time.

If you have any projects you want me to try send them my way!
