Allowing the painting to tell its own story rather than imposing a predetermined plot can allow a delicate interplay to develop. Experiment! The plot thickens.. .

I’ve been using tape for some time in both watercolour and Acrylic. I find it the best way for getting a horizon, that is if you want a straight one although with watercolour you have to wet it before removing or you will tear the paper.
