Oh it definitely is! Doesn't work every time. But if you play lots there is more chance of something good coming out of it.

I love the idea of keeping your used tape in your sketchbook for inspiration! I have never seen anyone do this before. They could also be fun in a collage piece.

Heh heh, I keep some of my paper art in an old hard-sided briefcase with beat up faux leather on the outside. I keep all my painted tape (i use each piece as many times as i can) for a while on my door, and then when they are completely covered in layers of paint, but still sticky, I add it to the briefcase. Got almost two sides done now, and it looks really unique and original, like nothing else could. And it repaired all the cracks in the leather at the same time :)

One of my favourite exercises too! I always make mine too busy. Yours has the right amount of calm and harmony but with heaps of lovely contrasts that make it interesting to look at again and again.

it's so fun, isn't it! If you always make it too busy cou could try taping smaller pieces. Then each piece has less on it.

Thank you Jeanine for being on KZread. I’ve been a pastel artist often on throughout my life and want to go bigger and looser, learned so much just from this posting.

I liked the first of the ones you didn’t like because it felt like a drone view of a road, the top right curved detail being a corner of a junction. It’s all about perception and maybe what you’re familiar with.

The acrylic paint I had mixed ages ago so unfortunately I don't remember what colours I mixed them from. The beige is quite similar to a buff titanium. The acrylic paints are mainly Daler Rowney System 3 acrylics. Hope this helps!
