RE: Painting on leather!

in #art4 years ago

When I saw the title, the first thought that popped into my head was oh God, painting on leather is not easy. I'm not an artist but I know leather and paint and I guessed you need several layers of coat to prepare the leather for painting.

I remember a post of yours from the beginning of the year, when you were looking for a wheelchair for your project. You didn't say what it was but here it is now, revealed.

I think it's a good idea, unique and with a message as well I believe. I guess you're going to paint the kid mannequin as well 🤔

Yeah it’s not easy, it’s a pain in the ass cos the paint doesn’t just stick to a glossy and smooth surface lol. I also tried painting on faux leather bags using acrylic but I don’t know how it is now. The client really wanted me to paint and she was okay with me using acrylic and I coated it with Clear gloss after but I don’t have any update to it. 😂

Yes I will paint the mannequin as well haha but not much unlike the leather on wheelchair.

I have my 👀on you, following the evolution of the artwork, so keep us updated and good luck 😊

Thank you <3
