Yeah I'm very interested in this. The masking didn't lift it at all either which is something I always struggle with. I wanna work with whatever this is lol

u/sunburnd 8h ago
It's been 35+ years since I have done any air brushing but if memory serves it's "Frisket" masking film. It worked fine for masking over painted and unpainted areas without causing damage.

u/burritosandblunts 8h ago
Word ty. The most frustrating thing in the world is working on a piece and getting to that end peel and lifting off a third of your project from the medium.

u/longtimegoneMTGO 7h ago
Have you tried spraying it with a layer of fixative before you use the tape? That can be more resistant to lift off than whatever medium you are working with.

u/highTrolla 9h ago
It might just be a different kind of tape. Painter's tape is usually a bit less sticky than masking tape.

u/Sciencetor2 9h ago
I use frog tape which I've had good success with, but you gotta really dry the paint under it first
21
u/mcanfield89 7h ago
A trick an art teach taught us in like grade 5, is to stick the tape to your jeans/clothing a bunch of times to pick up lint until you reach your desired tackiness.
Potentially trades some edge crispiness for saving your paint layers from peeling up with it.

That looks like the same color and width as my scotch brand delicate surface painters tape. It’s significantly less sticky than normal painters tape.

u/hotmaildotcom1 8h ago
If it was an engraving I would expect the paint to collect there aggressively. Instead it migrates away from the lines even when directly covered with paint. I think it's some hydrophobic material like wax or some silane coating.
Maybe a laser engraver was used to cut masking away and then it was sprayed with something like shoe waterproofing. Then all of the tape was removed and they started where the clip began.

u/rainbow__raccoon 7h ago
You can tell it’s just a deep engrave. You can actually see the paint slipping in on his left hand just a little, then the masking is easy to cut out b/c the engrave is so deep too.

u/hotmaildotcom1 7h ago edited 6h ago
It looks to me very much like beading on a hydrophobic surface. I paint my own engravings every now and then and I utilize the fact that they suck paint up like a MF to get the desired effect. It's possible this isn't wood and a different material behaves differently but that is not a deep wood engraving.
Edit: I guess I means it's not just deep wood engraving. There is some other major factor here that hasn't been explained in what you're proposing. I'm not positive I'm correct either.

I’m curious too, because usually thick paint application like that results in orange peeling and a dried riverbed appearance. I wondered if it’s some kind of 2 pack poly paint or something?

I'm thinking it's acrylic but it's thinned out to almost liquid. I need the paint to thinner (water?) ratio here.

u/Alyxsandre 8h ago edited 8h ago
Considering the paint pen (acrylic paint pen) used to do the trees, I assume it's some sort of acrylic ink of the same consistency. The paint spills out of the pens in a very similar manner if you press too hard.
Not too sure what exactly it might be, but my best guess would be whatever the paint pens are made of. So possibly diluted (or just ultra-fluid) acrylic ink of sorts
the brushes are pretty much like those little makeup brushes you can buy in bulk. Used for mascara or lip balm.

u/Adjective-Noun-nnnn 8h ago
My guess is the lines are some sort of grease pen and the paint is water-based, but I really have no idea. Other people are saying the lines are burnt or cut into the substrate. Is burned wood hydro- or oleophobic?

What's even MORE impressive is the shit tools they are using to paint! The black plastic stick with a foam-type end on it (used to paint the yellow) is a "Lip Gloss Applicator, Disposable Lip Brush, Lipstick Gloss Wand". The purple-handled tool is a "Microswab for Eyelash Extensions，Micro Applicator Brush"!
I know because I just bought some of these things for a different purpose. The ends have this strange flocking or microfiber, and on the black-stick ones affixed to a separate piece of hard white plastic. The purple stick ones are all one piece with itty-bitty ends coated with that same sort of fiber.
Despite how cheap they are, the purple stick ones hold up pretty well to being dipped in Isopropyl Alcohol and used to clean very small crevices. The black stick ones have less of that fiber on the end and are not at all soft or pliable - not like a paintbrush at all - so less useful for my needs.
Note: I am not selling or advising you to buy any of these, I only wished to show what they are in case someone wanted to try them out. The rules of this sub prevent me from being any more helpful, and the rule against "products" is probably meant to keep advertisements and spam out of here. A noble goal, however, overzealously applied, and catches innocent references like this and deletes them, creating more work for people wishing to post (links to) things, and more than once have caused me to say "fuck it" and just delete the post I took 40 minutes to prepare. People complain about the lack of OC and then make it increasingly difficult to create and share it. The tools (bots) can be smarter than they are now, why not demand better?
