FAUX LEATHER BACKGROUND

 The very first time I did Faux Leather as a class was in 2008, so it's been a while since we've done this easy, but effective background technique using a staple in many homes, masking tape.
Acrylic paint is what gives this tape the colour, and I find it works better than using any inks on top of the tape, as they have a tendency to wipe off, whereas the acrylic paint sticks very well. Dry-brushing the paint on means you are much more in control of how much colour you add, although it's easy to wipe/scratch some paint off if you've applied too much.
My first three samples are dedicated to my current obsession. IYKYK. 😉

"Yee'd your last haw"

"Obsession"


"Gimme kiss"


"til death we do art"

"Imagination"

"Heart sing"
