How to Simulate a Linen Mat for Paintings - Gary Garrett painting demo

[seanbone]

My art teacher painted over the masking tape w/ some white substance....sorry I can't remember the name, but when it dried it left a barrier that the paint couldn't cross....we painted it on w/ a paintbrush & it dried quickly....maybe ask an art store for what it was. It left a perfect line when the tape was removed

Tip:

Fold the last piece of tape and stick it to a corner. That way you just have to pull the 'handle' to start the pealing.

And you don't have to come near you painting with that sharp object again.

Great tutorial. Never thought about using it that way.
