Want to make gorgeous, graphic collage papers using just tape and paint? In this Tune in Tuesday, I show you how I experimented with three different types of artist tape to create striking grid-style collage papers using only acrylics. Whether you use repositionable tape, Frog Tape, or my favorite Nichiban Japanese masking tape, you'll end up with layered, painterly textures and clean lines that are perfect for collage.
SUPPLIES to make these papers: *
Nichiban Masking Tape (aka Artist Tape) https://amzn.to/44jl1N0
Frog green tape https://amzn.to/49sEjTO
Strathmore Drawing paper https://amzn.to/43yHXHV
Fabriano Mixed Media paper https://amzn.to/3X04HwP
Heavy weight papers 75 lbs and heavier like Bristol Paper https://amzn.to/44FbDTz
Nova Acrylic Paint or any other soft body brand paint like Liquetex Basics https://novacolorpaint.com/?cjdata=MX...)

Thanks for the video
Also, if you haven't put a base layer of gloss medium on your paper, heating up the tape as you pull it will loosen the adhesive sufficiently to prevent paper tearing. This can be done with a heat gun or hair-dryer.
AND a layer of gloss medium over the tape before painting prevents the paint from seeping under the tape. That's only for situations in which preventing underseepage is very important to you.
