The day before yesterday
the GDs and I started making some custom washi tape
for future art projects...here's mine before I cut it apart.
We pressed pieces of masking tape onto a sheet of wax paper right next to each other )with a small space between each strip so we could cut them apart later), used a paintbrush to cover it all with matte medium, then let it dry completely. When dry, we used matte medium to collage paper scraps, napkins, coffee filters, tissue, book pages, etc. on top of the masking tape strips on the left, painted with stencils on 2 strips from the right, and used posca pens to make some marks on the last 2 strips on the far right. It was a fun project that occupied a bit of their time! Once dry, you can cut the strips apart, and when ready to use on an art project, just peel the strip of masking tape off the wax paper and apply to your artwork!

first underpainting with raw umber...
2nd underpainting with raw umber...
acrylic colors on top to finish...
While my portrait painting is far from perfect
and only slightly resembles the reference photos,
I am able to see my progress
beyond my kindergarten stick people!
In this class the teacher used oil paints...
I only have acrylic paints...
so did what I could with what I had.
