Painting/drawing On Leather

[biker55]

Hi all, are there special paints for leather? also can I use color markers for coloring? sealants to seal or protect colors from fading? any advice will be greatly appreciated!

Yes you can use acrylic artists paints on leather which IMHO are better than Tandy's Cova colours.

Coloured markers, like sharpies also work well for outline work. Definitely seal the surface with a clear acrylic spray like this Fiebings one.

There are a couple threads on what paints to use in here if you search acrylic paint or painting leather.

Hope that helps, Scott
