Hello, how are you? The weather is very Gloomy and rainy today, and I love this kind of weather no sweat all day and it inspired me to paint again. I was looking for something to do today, and I saw the tote bag I bought months or months ago. I forgot already LOL.

My idea is what if I painted one of the oil pastel art I drew before and yeah it is been a while since I painted tote bag so I am so excited and worried at the same time but I am confident I can do it hehehe so yeah I am going to paint the tote bag I bought using acrylic that I will convert into a fabric paint by adding a medium to do the job.

Materials I Used:

Tote Bag
Colored Pencil
Tape
Acrylic Paint
Paintbrush

Tissue
Jar of Water
Textile Medium
Pallete
Pallete Knife

Craft Time!

First things first is to prepare all the materials in one place, and then I squeeze out all the color I am going to need.

To make the acrylic paint fabric paint, I added equal parts of fabric paint.

And using a palette knife, I mix everything.

I am going to use this oil pastel art I drew before as my reference. I drew the line art using colored pencil.

And then I start painting. I start with the first orange, and then after that I decided to outline the pencil outline with acrylic so it is visible enough when I layer it with paints.

And I painted the leaves second. I layered it with darker green.

The orange is looking like orange now, and then I started adding the background color.

And then I started adding highlights, and then I completely painted the background.

And then I added the final detail, which is the one I scratched on the original drawing, but I could do it on the painting, so I just use a mute white to do that and I really like how it turns out.
