I used regular blue painters tape and like yours it would not stay down. And my color bled some. So now I'm using "DUCK Masking" and it's staying down completely. I haven't removed it yet. I'm just happy it's staying down. :) Becca's Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499938016763723956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828280599840379764.post-73218972754833495712014-01-06T13:25:46.740-05:002014-01-06T13:25:46.740-05:00All that work really paid off, that is so beautifu...All that work really paid off, that is so beautiful, I love the way you arranged the colors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828280599840379764.post-33521352297337185632013-11-13T01:41:18.654-05:002013-11-13T01:41:18.654-05:00That sure look neat up there.

I do have one suggestion on how to eliminate (or nearly eliminate) the pencil marks showing through. I paint quite a bit on canvas and draw my pattern using colored pencils in the same color that I plan to paint. So if I'm planning to paint pink and green dots, I draw them on my canvas first using pink and green pencils. <br />Thanks for the tutorial! lauraleedaydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05914591900334114463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828280599840379764.post-46059476590875322182013-01-02T23:12:09.645-05:002013-01-02T23:12:09.645-05:00Honesty i started measuring and eventually eyeball...Honesty i started measuring and eventually eyeballed it.

I put down my tape and then do a coat of whatever my background color is over the tape edges (so if I painted my background white, I paint white over the tape edges before I do my stripe color). On wood, this is just about fool proof. I just did my first chevron on a canvas and there was still some bleeding but I would imagine not as much.

I was originally just going to go with yellow and white, but the white sections had pencil all over them and it wouldn't erase, so I had to re-tape over the yellow and paint the white and pencil gray.<br /><br />I did use masking tape though. I didn't have any issues with it sticking, but there was still some bleed through. I had wondered if painters tape would be better, but I guess its not much. My dad uses masking tape on all of his canvases and he gets crisp lines, so I guess it's possible. He told me to keep the painting perpendicular to the tape.Kelly (ray)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828280599840379764.post-14654867435516135782012-02-24T15:37:04.785-05:002012-02-24T15:37:04.785-05:00this came out really really great! love it!this came out really really great! love it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197765517548240896noreply@blogger.com
