Florida's Glory

Fantastic work! I also have issues with the contact paper. I feel I've tried everything but it still doesn't stick too well. What did you use to make the outline? I've always been interested in making a painting like this.

I used blue painter's tape. I overlapped the strips of tape to make a solid sheet, then cut out my design. It was difficult to transfer to the canvas (kept trying to fall apart) but I had better luck with less bleeding.
