I dabble in acrylics but have only painted hard surfaces that have been sealed so the paint slides on easily and is easy to thin with water. I would think painting on fabric would cause a lot of "drag" on the brush until you had a few layers down. This looks beautifully blended. Thanks for sharing
    Thank you for the wonderful compliments!

    I used Liquitex Heavy Body Artist Colors. And yes, painting on fabric is a little tricky. There is a lot of drag but if you add too much water the paint soaks into the fabric. Once you get a base coat down it's pretty much like working on a canvas. The finished product is very stiff so I wouldn't recommend these paint for painting on clothing.
