Tape Painting

This piece is based on the works of Karen Goetzinger

Method
  1. First I glued different types of tapes and textured material onto a piece of cardboard roughly relating to buildings.
  2. I then painted layers of acrylic paint on top of the tape and cardboard - some areas dry brushed over with white acrylic to bring out the textures.
  3. Next I added a block of white for the road and used a pencil to add tone to the white.
  4. I added detail with a black marker pen to some areas like the buildings and added further highlights with a white pen.
