Members KingsCountyLeather Posted June 29, 2017 Members Report Posted June 29, 2017 Love the coloring and shading... if you can colour your leather like that, do you think you could colour a portrait of a persons face? something I've been thinking about lately. Quote

I'm certain I could, although it would be much more difficult than a dragon. Especially if it was someone you know. But, if you take the time to perfect the colors, its just a matter of technique. Good carving helps too. Quote Learnleather.com
Members KingsCountyLeather Posted July 1, 2017 Members Report Posted July 1, 2017 How well does the colouring of painted leather hold up over time? Like say 10 to 20 years? Quote
Moderator immiketoo Posted July 1, 2017 Author Moderator Report Posted July 1, 2017 Well I've only been at it for 4 years, so I can't say from actual experience, but Ive seen painted pieces that are over 20 years old and they still look great. Acrylic paint is essentially plastic when it dries so its very durable. The pieces Ive done look exactly the same as they did when I first made them, 1, 2 3 or 4 years later. Time will tell, I suppose. Quote Learnleather.com
Members Rolandranch Posted August 25, 2017 Members Report Posted August 25, 2017 Amazing! How did you get the color details so accurate? I would love to be able to do that! Quote

Members JD62 Posted August 26, 2017 Members Report Posted August 26, 2017 Id settle for just being able to get that texture that you got on the face ! Quote One day at a time my friends John
