Fabric Art Painting Materials:sneakers, acrylic paints on fabric, outlines on fabric 1. Before starting work, wash the sneakers or wipe them with a cloth dampened in an alcohol-based liquid to degrease the surface. Create a backdrop for the flowers on the fabric by randomly applying paint. If you are not painting very well, treat the toes especially carefully - acrylic paints not only protect the fabric from dirt and damage, but also paint over stains well. The paint must dry so that the next layers lay flat. 2. Draw the flower by adding new shades. As you work, you can mix colors, creating a gradient effect. Use bright colors in the center and darker shades around the edges for a more voluminous picture. 3. Decorate the seam with an outline to create a fake stitch. These elements can be made voluminous - after drying, the contour keeps its shape well. 4. Outline the flowers and leaves, correcting irregularities and adding details. Better to take metal outlines - they give the picture shine and make it three-dimensional. 5. Paint over the leaves with a thinner brush. Add highlights with white paint, applying it in short strokes on a green or yellow base. 6. On one side, outline the lace. Dry your sneakers in the open air or put them in a heated to 140 ° С for 5-7 minutes.

Tip
By the wayCodes with images of witches, devils and other thingsunclean force will become an unusual gift for Halloween. The basis for painting can be not only paint, but also the outline. Apply it to the cloth and allow to dry. Draw with a fine brush of the figure - the layer of paint should not be very dense, so that through it you can see the previously applied background. Make a contrasting contour (better pearly or white) imitation of the seam and draw details. Some of them can be made voluminous: apply a few layers of the contour on the eyes and wings, allow the paint to dry. Make a glare with a transparent outline.
