Hi Allan! I use tape for my hard edges but mask off large sections then cut away with an exacto, so it’s not the edge of the tape. I also put down a layer of matte medium before painting the surface.

These photos don’t do justice to our turnout or all of the hard work fellow artists put into this project! I first got involved with the art garden via the 2024 Winter Hoopla, and I’m blown away by everything they do.

Apprehending nature is the original sin

Opposing it is the inevitable result

Until synthetic unity is achieved
