    I use cradle panels rather than canvas, it's a better surface for graphic work. Also, use several coats of watered down gesso, each one sanded down to get a nice smooth finish. You'll get a better surface for the tape to adhere to and a sharper line when you paint.

    I watched a documentary about Ian Davenport doing drip lines...getting the consistency of the paint right so it will run for the length of the canvas is a pain in the arse.
