Abstract Maps Painting Process
kimmie first identified major highways and roads in the map and ensures those will be within the canvas and sized properly using a projector onto the canvas. Using Frog Tape, the highways and roads are blocks off to prevent any paint from getting on them.
Then, kimmie paints the bases of the map depending on the color preferences using acrylic paint. kimmie designs all types of abstract lines using varying shades of the colors.
Once the base is painted, the Frog Tape is then removed revealing the highway and roads. Using acrylic paint and modeling paste, those areas are painted.
