Experiment leads to new creative obsession

Simple photography hack gives artful life to photos

Sometimes you see a photography technique or trick demonstrated on social media and you try it and it falls flat. Then other times—like this—it works.

Take a piece of clear packing tape, stretch it between two tall things (I used champagne flutes), spray water on top, then slide your artwork underneath. Take a picture. Crop.

I love the effects. 

I created some 3×3” floral sketches with Micron pen and finished with Daniel Smith watercolors.
