Painting On Different Surfaces..Leather & Plastic

This is actually a leather box cover...what I found was that..I had to paint really fast on this surface as the paints seems to absorb into it. Finally...this was achieved..I tried using a 3/4 inch brush to paint and found that i dont have control at all...it was a mess and I touch some area up with a smaller brush... Since the cover was drak brown brown almost black..I had a hard time getting the colors for the leaves to come out..aside from the paint absorbs into the surface. next step will be..how to varnish this..Only the painted areas??

This is my bathroom bin..it looks so grey and dull..so I tried painting it this morning..Hmm..I use a sea sponge to put the different greens..bits of white and yellow..all over the cover..Dried it using a hair dryer..Next I painted the purple small flowers..I was thinking either hydrangeas.. lilacs..etc... I was painting it in the powder room so movement was limited....

But..I am please that it turns out better than I expected....after its done than I was in the kitchen cooking lunch...

Practise..Practise..& To be Reworked Some...

This one has been reworked with a bloom to replace the leave&smudge ribbon a sbotton pic..

Actually...this has been reworked by adding some leaves and petals.. need to learn to use patterns...so that more consistent..now just eye-balling and some chalks points...

This need rewirk on right side..but maybe repaint if I couldn't figure how to do it..he..he..

While clearing my garage up..to make space..just incase wanna do makan2..so far takde ilham datang lagi....There were some pieces already gessoed b4 summer..so do some basecoating..hair-dryer helps tremendously to speed up drying..and I practise again my roses.. still haven't moved to other flowers...Available items to be painted also limited..unless I want to move on to paint some of my wooden cabinets or quilt hanger....Not sure coz'I haven't get the skill to transfer patterns and follow them accordingly.... What I can say at the moment..most of my stuffs were painted without transferring patterns..I just use a chalk pencil and sort of sketch the placements....Shortcuts coz' I am pretty impatient to see how it is.... Since my aim is to practise the skills..I haven't really put things up for sale yet... If anybody just by chance like them and want to have it..than I will sell...if not it stays in my garage corner.. i am hoping with enough painted stuffs..I might joined some of the craft sale or mall-day etc... But for the time being.. I am in no rush... I still need to do some for my own..... he..he..
