Unusual ‘Tape Technique’ painting. Relaxing process with finished result.

- My ‘Tape Technique’ is a funny little technique which I’ve found is abit like Marmite… people either love it or hate it! 😆🙈
But I read this quote once by Alexander Calder once and it’s always stuck with me:
“Above all, Art should be fun”
… and that’s exactly what this style is 🥰🎨
#artprocess #acrylicpainting #abstractart
To give you a little background, I started painting originally for stress relief and therapy when I suddenly started having seizures 3 months before I was due to graduate from a Physiotherapy degree! My whole life turned upside down as you can imagine. But I believe ‘Everything happens for a reason’ and I couldn’t imagine my life without my art now.
In 2018 I was discovered by a Publisher, Artko Ltd, who supply framed prints of my work to shops throughout the UK. My bestselling pieces are my ‘Love Trees’.
My work is currently in various shops including John Lewis and Dunelm and links to these can be found below…

I ship my artwork Worldwide and so far have shipped my work to the USA, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Germany, Malta, Amsterdam, Spain, Italy and Ireland.

Bless you! Thank you SO much! It took 2 hrs to upload! 🙈 So I’m glad it’s finally working and people are watching it 😘🎨
Congratulations on being found out by big publishers of art!! That’s so wonderful!! Especially at your age!! I’m 57 and have always been a crafter since I was 7 due to my church always having Christmas bazaars. I’ve always desired to draw but mostly paint! I waited a bit too long but look at Grandma Moses! 😁😁 I can’t wait to get started on my own rendition on this painting and will definitely give you credit!! I’m not a teacher on UA-cam but will attach a card with your name on it as my inspiration.
Thank you so much have fun 🥰🙏🏼🎨
Wow. Just wow.

I paint in watercolor and I love to watch your process. I use masking fluid and sometimes tape when I paint. I wasn’t sure where you were going at first, lol. I love your use of a folded piece of paper to make your marks. I am very impressed with your artwork! Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
Thank you so much. Haha yes many people have said they weren’t sure where this piece was going 😆🎨🥰
Beautiful absolutely loved the colours you chose.
Thank you so much, they’re such happy colours 🥰🎨
I appreciate your technique, the resulting effect is beautiful. & reminds me of Gustav Klimt paintings.
Thank you so much. That has been a comparison before too and it’s such a compliment! Thank you 🥰🎨
Interesting process to watch unfold.
Thank you it’s an odd little process but quite fun 🥰🎨
Love this painting! Beautiful!😮

Oh you’re gonna think I’m a real big pain. So what is the ratio of pouring medium water in paint if it’s a trade secret all understand if you don’t want to share your recipe. I started painting about five years ago and I’m not an artist at all but I enjoy painting. When I’m painting Timeflies, and before you know it been painting for hours. I stopped painting about a year ago but when I saw your creations I was inspired. I’m in awe of the way you designed your “artist she shed”. Your studio is charming, cozy, creatively efficient and well thought out.
Ohh I love that! My ‘Studio She Shed’ 🤣🥰🎨 Thank you I put a lot of thought into it as it has so many uses I need it to work for… my ‘display/viewing’ area when clients come for a viewing, my packaging area, drying area, and of course my painting area.
No it’s not a trade secret but I really don’t know a particular ratio I’m afraid 🙈 I literally work by eye. Not too runny and not too thick. Sometimes I start ‘sprinkling’ the paint and it’s too thick so I add more water or mediums and vice versa… too runny and I add more paint again. It’s more about what ‘feels’ right for me. Hope that helps 😊🎨
@@LittleDotArt , I get it. Your verbiage to explain how you dilute. The paint is exactly wording I can understand. I’m a big believer in going with your intuitive, gut instinct. Something no one ever talks about is how you clean out your bottles that you used to mix paint in. I want to be green and not wash it down my sink I’m thinking of using a little corner in my yard to rinse my brushes and bottles out, make a mosaic of paint in the dirt lol. What is your method to wash out your used paint bottles so you can reuse them
@@almacade1527I generally let them dry and just keep using them 🙈🎨
You are a breath of fresh air! After running into thousands jumping on the paint pouring art, I was
ecstatic when I came across your art! Amazing! Now THIS is ART!! You are incredibly talented!
@@1toughmama You are SO kind! Thank you 🥹🥰🎨🥹

You’re not wrong! Thank you 🥰🎨
На душі світліше від Ваших картин! Казкова красота!
Thank you 🥰🎨
Wow! So glad you popped up here. I felt hypnotized watching you paint. So many layers, colors, and shapes, and in the end such beauty.
I know art can lead you out of a dark and dangerous place to one where you're no longer thinking, just doing.
I began drawing, then painting when I was so depressed I was incapable of speaking. I'd never thought of myself as a visual artist--I'm a writer--but I was amazed by the crossover. I mix poetry into my drawings.
I love watching you.❤❤❤
That’s wonderful to hear that painting and poetry has helped you so much. Glad you like my work and thank you so much for subscribing 🥰🎨
🤩 j’aime beaucoup !!
That’s great to hear! Thank you 🥰🎨🥹
I love it! I have never done painting but this makes me want to try.
Bless you thank you 🥰🎨 Have fun!
So pretty 😊
Thank you! 🥰🎨

Beautiful art ❣️
Thank you glad you like it 🥰🎨
you are an artist after my own heart. Sponges, drips and masking tape... perfect. I love to paint this way and its good (no offence) to see a fellow artist covered in paint with a sweet messy studio. Love it ty for sharing..love from the UK x
You’re very welcome. I’m in the UK too, Lincolnshire, where abouts are you? And yes nothing too ‘fine art’ about it… I just enjoy it 🎨🥰

Fantástico ❤
Thank you so much 😃🎨🥰
That’s s so ‘heavenly’ Sara, thank you so much for sharing your process, and showcasing your talents. You’ve inspired me to dust of the brushes and start mixing again. Quick question how many times have you found spots of paint on the pupper????
Haha too many 🙈 he likes to lay right next to me painting 🐾🎨
I love how this came out! It is really beautiful!
Thank you so much!🥹🥰🎨
Lindo!!!!!
Obrigada🥰
Love the dog on the side getting bone:-)
Haha yes that’s my boy ‘Chunky’ 🥰🐾
Beauitful

Ein schönes Ergebnis! Danke sehr für diese Inspiration! Mein letztes Bild hat auch mit Tropfen angefangen…Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪
You’re very welcome glad you like it, thank you 🥰🎨
That’s a very interesting technique. Looks like it was fun to do as well. You did a great job
Thank you so much. I literally did this technique because I thought it would be fun… and it was 😃🥰🎨🙏🏼
I can’t wait to try it.

You certainly did 🥰
Очень и очень красиво!
Thank you you’re so kind 🎨😊
Fabulous ❣️I enjoyed every second watching you! Finally a new abstract I absolutely love!! I am going to have to try out your technique!! Love your dog and the way you give him smiles ❤️. I have two dogs both are Chihuahuas but one is a mixed . The mix is called a Chipit! Yep the daddy was a pit bull! She’s beautiful and sweet as can be! Anyways back to your beautiful painting ! This piece is an abstract that many would love on their wall!!! Keep up the fantastic work that looks like it would be very calming and fun to do!!! I will share with all of my friends family ❣️Blessings to you young lady! This is the first piece I watched of yours , looking forward to more! I just started getting back into acrylics. I’ve been working on watercolors. Gelli plate printing started me back on working with acrylics! Have fun💕
Bless you thank you so much and love to your fur babies 🥰🐾🙏🏼🎨
I'm curious--many of the colors you used seem to have been chosen ahead of time to provide balance and harmony; but what about the building up of the image? You use a variety of techniques, so I am curious about the balance between planning and sponteneity. I love the white dots with the black centers & the black dots with the white centers, they really pop off the canvas and, curiously, look like flowers despite being black and white. Very interesting and fun to watch!
You’re absolutely right some of it is planning and the image that is already in my head, but a fair bit is spontaneity too. Glad you like it and thank you for supporting my work 🥰🎨🙏🏼
I have a hard time getting the tape off without taking the paint with it... :) tried it on canvas, wood, ect... :) I enjoy using water guns to splatter paint too.. :)
I haven’t found that, I use simple masking tape 🥰🎨
@@LittleDotArt I guess I was using painters tape... even with the thin strips its hard to get it off...lmao :) But I love that you are able to ...and I like it.
Use heat, blow dryer on the tape it will loosen up
@@judithcjames5316 good idea thank you 🎨🥰
@@judithcjames5316 I will have to try that!
Ma’am ur dog is getting into ur stuff under ur table as you paint
Haha he loves it, it was his Bone he was trying to get 🥰🦴🐾
❤
🥰🎨
This is so relaxing to see & the colours so vibrant, do you let it dry brfore each new colour or just keep goigng its great thanks for sharing
Thank you so much glad you like it 🥰 I tend to do a few layers wet on wet before drying and then doing a few more layers wet on wet so they blend together nicely but not too much 🥰
Чем бьІ дитя не тешилось - лишь бьІ не плакало...
🤔
Merveilleux et fantastique 👍
Petite question
Avant de commencer ton tableau sais tu déjà ce que tu veux créer....ou alors c est en peignant que tu te sens inspirée ?
Merci
Bisous à chunky
Thank you 🐾 and Thank you 🥰🎨
Mostly I have a plan in my head of what I’m going to paint, but sometimes things alter as I paint depending on the feeling I get from them. ☺️
Супер ❤❤❤
Thank you 🥰🎨
💖👍
🥰🎨
Awesome colours and art 😊 what’s the Golden white paste you are using?
Thank you it’s titanium white heavy body acrylic paint 🥰🎨
Interesting 🤩 You paint with such a natural flow and your choice of colours is very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Love to see more detailed videos of your work and tutorials 😀
@@user-gv7kt6no7f Glad you like it thank you 😊🎨
This video came across my UA-cam feed and I am obsessed 😍. I've watched it about 20 times, and then watched all your other videos and shorts. Process question...do you let each layer dry before moving on.
I want to make my own feeble attempt at something like this.
Bless you THANK YOU 🥹🥹🥹 Glad you enjoyed them. So it really depends I’m afraid. Generally I do a few layers at once before letting them dry 🥰🎨
짝짝짝 짝짝짝
🎨🤣
Hello, love the joy in your work. Can you pls tell me what type of paint you use? Are you using some type of gel medium as well? Thanks
Hi I use acrylic paints. I sometimes use mediums depending on different effects I want but for this piece it was just Acrylic paint 🥰🎨
