Now, this is my sister's linen romper that had gotten a few oil stains on it and she asked if I would hand paint some flowers on it for her. I recommend drying out your design and chalk first until you get it exactly the way you want it and then you can set that design using a Sharpie marker. You can trust this process. I promise it's tried and true. I've done these exact same steps in this order for years. Your design will not disappear or fade in the wash. It will be soft. It will not be crunchy. I always use Dixie Belle Paints. I always heat set and I also use easy peasy spray wax to seal and I almost missed the grease spot that she actually asked me to cover in the first place. So, I had to go back with chalk and permanent marker to cover the in your drawing. You can lightly dust off and you're ready to paint. Okay, so the next thing I do is sort of block out my design and I like to use white paint for this. So, this is Dixie Belle chalk paint and fluff. I put a little bit in a bowl. I add some water. I stir it until I get the desired consistency. I then like to lightly mist my fabric with water and then you can just start painting. Now, this is just my way. You don't have to do it this way. You don't have to cover your entire design and white paint first but I like to do this because it really does allow the true color that you're going to follow up with to show up as its true self. It's really no different than priming your canvas or priming your furniture. This is what it looks like when it's all color blocked out and I actually really like this look as well without any color added to it. So, now it's time to bring in color, I usually just bring in one color at a time. Each of these colors that I'm added are also slightly watered down and I also continue to mist my fabric lightly as I go and here I didn't even wash my brush in between colors. I just let my two colors marry. My painting style on fabric is very much less than perfect. It's very organic. I don't worry too much about painting outside the lines or having chalk line show or colors blending together naturally. Now, I'm bringing into my favorite color This is flamingo and this bright pink is peony. I love these two colors next to each other. Now I'm bringing in a little bit of the Dixie Belle blue into these hydrangeas. And you'll see here in a second I'll use the brush and just sort of blend these two colors together to get a pretty violet. It's really starting to come together even though there's just one flat color on each flower. And somehow I skipped adding depth. You see the depth that happened right there and now I'm bringing in highlight. So this is a lighter color called apricot that I'm just bringing in to sort of tip off on each petal to represent light shining on the flower. This really does make such a big difference. It brings your art to life. It just adds dimension. I did the same thing on all of the green. I just add a little bit of highlight and then I rub it in with my finger. We are almost done here. This is my messy workspace. Once the paint is dry, I come in with my pasta pen and I do sort of a doodle outline. In my opinion, here, the less perfect, the better. Once the pins dry, I give it a quick sand with fine grit sandpaper and basically you're done. You can either heat set with an iron. You can throw it into the dryer for a little bit. For extra added protection, I usually give it a spray with easy-peasy spray wax by Dixie Belle and that's it. The project's done. The stain is covered and my sister is happy.
