I was surprised that there was no bleed with the masking tape initially used, even though paint was added on top of it several times.
The taping technique gives a unique look to a painting, but it does take patience. Of course, doesn’t watermedia always require some patience!
I’m pleased to say that there wasn’t much problem with the tape peeling up the paint – other than a few areas where the background paint was a bit thicker. I had anticipated that problem, and was extremely careful to pull back into the peony so that I minimized the amount of paint torn away.

Deb this is a beautiful painting. The yellow is magical and really pops.
Fun to see your technique on this one.
Pretty cool effects, I've never tried yupo you may have convinced me to do so:)
This is absolutely stunning. A wow painting! I love it. A super present indeed. Congratulations on creating another winner!
Looking great Deb. Love those edges and the color is wonder, plus those interesting shapes.
ah! I didn't expect the paint going under the tape, nice effect Deb!
Nancy, glad you enjoyed it (even though you have become one of "those oil painters" LOL)
Carrie, still not a lover of the Yupo! But, hey, give it a try.
Christiane, Ann and Teresa - it's not quite done here, but soon!
I can see why you are pleased with this one. It is BEAUTIFUL!
I like how the paint bled under the tape - creates a nice effect (you'll have to remember what tape that was). I would like to see a few more defined areas but maybe that's just me - or maybe I know you'll continue a bit more on it (my ESP is kicking in because I'm not using my brain for anything else these days).
Rhonda, still got some "fine tuning" to do (your ESP is correct!)
Ooo...wonderful!
Wow, what an incredible effect! Very pretty.
Kimberly and Gretchen - thanks!
