How are the stripes painted? Was it all done using painter's tape or is there a different way?

Hi gigzy. I drew the stripes with a pencil using a ruler and a level. Then I painted very carefully along the line. First the purple then the grey. Another method could be painting the whole wall grey, drawing the lines, then painting the purple. Personally, I think painting each stripe on its own gives it more texture. It takes longer, but looks better!
