    I was today years old when I learned I don't have to buy special tape, I can just use regular transparent tape - Awesome process and video

      Painters tape works beautifully too. Inexpensive and little to no risk of tearing the paper.

      Thank you for your likes🍀🍀🌷That was not a Q-tip, it was a piece of kitchen paper. I tore it off and shaped it into a Q-tip shape.This is very useful.

    If you have problems with some tapes, use a hair dryer to soften the glue. Be sure everything is dry first!! Never pull tape off wet paper. Also be aware of what sort of paper you're using. Some papers are very hard to remove tape from. .

      Additionally, don't leave ANY tape on your work for an excessively long time (past the time it's actually needed). It often becomes very difficult to remove using most techniques.

    Just found your channel❤. Beautiful. May I ask what brush you used throughout your painting? Wonderful that it can do so many different strokes.
