YUPO PEONY 6

Here are some images of the edges of the petals to show how it looks “up close and personal” where the paint bled under the tape. It gives that crinkly look that is called “the batik look”.
I’m not convinced there is skill to this technique – I think it’s more pure, dumb luck!

Well, then, I would love to have some of that pure dumb luck :-) I really like the effect.

Christiane - the tape did give a good effect. ps - You don't need dumb luck - you've got real talent!
