It's NOT like a damned bicycle.

I SUCK with acrylics. I always have. The only time I didn't was a piece in grad school, copying a Waterhouse. And I was in practise then, I spent HOURS on it, if not days, and I was at the top of my artistic game. Fuck all.

Hm. Wait.

What if I did this on watercolour paper, THEN backed it with the leather? Didn't paint on the leather at all?

Hm.

Cos acrylics are just...they're making me mad. I'm used to wet paints. I'm used to watercolour. My hands don't work well with this solid paint crap. That and the leather sucks all the moisture out of the pain in an instant. Hm. Okay. How do I bond watercolour paper to leather? Spray adhesive?


Back to the kitchen.

If you're going to put a sealant on the leather, as Damion suggested, does it matter how the color goes on if you're sealing it in anyway? As in, using pastels, or colored pencils or even the watercolors (if they don't seep into the leather)?

Can that ModPodge type stuff be used on leather if you want to paint on paper or parchment and affix it to the leather?

Good luck with all this--hell, I wouldn't have a clue what to do with ANY paint medium, so you're already light years ahead of me! *lol*
