Painter's tape, Froggy tape, yes. Since the tape didn't always stick closely I had to lay the canvas on the ground and then spray this florescent paint from above and let it drop to the canvas. This paint is technically "marking paint" which natural gas types spray on the ground so no one drigs up a water main. The texture is very unpaint-like. Its super tiny particles. I was relieved to be able to lay a light varnish over it. I like you glow stick photographs. Very cool!

Hi Elizabeth.

I used painters tape over one color. After it dried i repeated it over and over with other florescent paint colors. I should used a picture of it lit up under a blank light. I have SINCE discovered an artist, Richard Anuszkiewicz, that did alot of beautiful Op art  back in the 60s & forward. Google it to see his work.
