Olivia's finished painting.
With the 4-H county fair coming up in July, Olivia thought it would be fun to try to do a masking tape painting for one of her art projects.
The first step was to choose a rigid canvas. Next, cut strips of masking tape in half and place in random patterns on the canvas.

Then, choose your paint colors and put small amounts on a plate. Have a brush, water, and paper towels nearby.
Olivia's ready to begin painting.
Paint each section a different color, Try not to put the same color in adjacent sections.

Do one coat of paint and let it dry. Repeat with a second layer of paint.
Let the painting dry for 24 hours.

Next, slowly peel off the sections of masking tape to reveal the white parts underneath.

This was something that Olivia enjoyed doing. To see the paint-covered tape removed to reveal the bright-white canvas completely changed the look of the painting.

Olivia enjoyed this project and was happy that she did it. She is pleased with the final painting (the first image on this post); and is looking forward to finding a frame for it so she can hang it in her room.

Fun project! That really turned out wonderfully, too. :)
My kids would love doing this fun art project. It's simple enough that they can do it on their own, and yet it is truly beautiful, like a stained glass window.
