Original Creation

Sunset Palms

I did this painting to try out a border/frame idea. Just used a wide masking tape. Had a little bleed under from the liquid clear…. next time I’ll stop before hitting the edge.

16x20 black canvas, taped off then prepped with extremely thin coat of liquid clear. Overall I think this gives the painting a really nice framed look.

Very nice. Did you coat the canvas with gesso first? If you did, you can go back and use the gesso to touch up after everything is dry. It works pretty wee, from experience :)

Wow, this is beautiful. I especially love the blue color. The masking tape idea is great, looks like the painting is framed. Good job.
Some say they put on the masking tape, then put on another layer of gesso, so that the tape gets really well in stuck to the canvas.

Thanks guys, good tips!

Really nice sky!
