Clean a tabletop or countertop.
Apply masking tape to the counter to outline your painting area, creating an area smaller than your chosen paper so as to leave a border.
Apply masking tape to one edge of the paper leaving a lip of tape. Align your paper to your taped-off area, still bearing in mind that you want a border left around your image at the end. Stick the lip of tape to your working surface and test that your paper can be lifted and dropped like a flap.
Flip back the paper and paint on the surface where the flap will come down. If painting a scene or a face, remember to paint backwards. For example, if painting an eye, you must begin on the surface with the pupil, then the iris, then the white, then the eyelid. Also, do not use too much ink, or the paper will saturate beyond use.
Drop the flap of paper onto your painting gently and accurately, do not allow for much movement or there may be smears.
Apply firm pressure to the corners of the paper, and rub the back of the paper with a wooden spoon. Here you are collecting the paint from the surface onto the paper, so rub vigorously, but not so hard as to rip the paper.
Test your work by lifting a corner lightly. If the paper lifts easily, then you are finished. If not, continue to rub.
Confirm that your paper will lift easily, remove the tape strip, and allow it to dry overnight.
