How to Color a Painting with Washi Tape

In your impression, washi tape is mainly used around white paper and making beautiful ledgers, but, in fact, there are more ideas you don’t know, have you tried to use it to color instead of pigment?

In addition to embellishing handbooks, packaging gifts, you can also color our paintings! In the past, we all used paints or needles to make patterns on paper or cloth more vivid. Now let's get started to color the artwork with washi tape.

Step 1 Black pen outline

Choose your favorite characters or some small animals, whatever you like. Use a black pen to outline the lines and outlines until the entire composition is complete.

Step 2 Choose the tape color

Choose different colors: These patterns you draw on the paper call for different colors, choose the one that suits them best.

Choose tapes with different shades of the same color: You can get the effect of shadow folds.

Step 3 Choose tape for decoration and embellishment

In addition to the color itself, we also need decorative tape to embellish our work, such as the figure's skirt and cuffs can use transparent white lace.

Important: Color matching is critical and you need to practice a lot. As you know, practices always make perfect.
