Members YinTx Posted April 27, 2020 Members Report Posted April 27, 2020 Did a Cherry Blossom phone case, and tried my hand at Angelus Paints. Not the best in the world, but I think if I do it a few more times I'll get the hang of it! Anyhow, let me know what ya'll think!

Members rleather Posted April 27, 2020 Members Report Posted April 27, 2020 Looks great! What are your thoughts on the Angelus brand of paints. I have never used them. I'm about to purchase leather and the only brand of paint, dyes, etc is Angelus. I kind of wanted to avoid having to pay shipping from several places. Quote
Members Rolandranch Posted April 27, 2020 Members Report Posted April 27, 2020 Love it! Nice work! Quote

The only paint I have used is Angelus, and I have only painted on a couple of items, this one by far has the most paint. I had really good luck with it, no issues with smearing/bleeding etc even when I used resist (also used Angelus brand acrylic finisher for the resist). I usually order direct from Angelus, but they are closed to new orders due to Covid I believe. You can go to their website to see the most recent availability. I did find some on Ebay with free shipping, since I had no white. Really tho, the price is about double the cost from Angelus, because the shipping is baked into the cost, so probably even. I have also heard you can use any acrylic paint, nothing special about it. But I am far from an expert on this obviously! YinTx 1 hour ago, Rolandranch said: Love it! Nice work! Appreciate it!

Members battlemunky Posted April 28, 2020 Members Report Posted April 28, 2020 Good job Yin. Way to go for it. I can barely fill in letters I've stamped with paint and have it look neat. I like the gnarly branch and how it kept it's gnarleyness even through the paint. Quote
Members Stetson912 Posted April 28, 2020 Members Report Posted April 28, 2020 Paint scary. Me no like paint... hehe I'll need to try some eventually. I've used some to do broad coverings but only solid colors. That looks pretty good to me! Quote

Thank you, and just for the record, I did the branches with dye. Really was worried about losing the texture through paint, and I didn't really feel like i had a color that would do it justice with paint.. Really hard to keep the brown only on the branches with dye for sure! 2 hours ago, Stetson912 said: Paint scary. Me no like paint... hehe I'll need to try some eventually.

At least now I know when I have to, I can fake it till I make it! Thanks for the compliment!

Members HaloJones Posted April 28, 2020 Members Report Posted April 28, 2020 For getting texture when painting you can thin the paint then when dry use an ink in the same way you use antique gel Quote
