The masking tape exercises were not my favourite, I was ineffective with glueing my tape down solidly and in sections the paint bled under it. I tried a couple of different designs, two of which are displayed here relating to the large twisted tree that was the focus. The four figure image exercise was also disappointing with similar masking tape tragedies. I also did not leave the paint to dry as long as I should have between coats and this was a poor decision as well.
