Tape lines across your canvas from one edge to another to create shapes. Aim for about 12–15 sections.
Press all tape edges down firmly to prevent paint from bleeding underneath.
Mix your tints by starting with white paint and slowly adding a small amount of color.
Paint about half of your shapes using your tints. Add a second coat if needed for better coverage.
Use a fresh plate to mix shades by starting with color and adding a small amount of black.
Paint the remaining shapes with your shades. You can also blend tints and shades together for a more advanced look.
Let the painting dry, then carefully peel off the tape to reveal your design.
