The Process
The first step I take is removing the laces of the shoe and then taping over anything that I don't want to paint.
The next step is taking the finish off of the shoes. I uses Angelus brand deglaze, but you can also use nail polish remover. (takes the shine and protectant coat off of the shoe)
After the finish is removed I draw on my canvas just to give myself a reference while I paint.
After the sketch its time to paint, I use Angelus Acrylic Leather paint.
