SUPPLIES
- water container
- palette or plastic plate
- paper towels
- 1" painter's tape
- paintbrushes
- athletic shoes
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the shoes by removing the laces and taping areas that will not be painted.
- Load the brush with water and soak the fabric of the shoe.
- Mix the water on the shoe with about five (5) drops of Fuchsia to create a watercolor effect. Dab lightly onto the fabric of the shoe. Do the same for Turquoise and Purple, randomly adding watercolor blotches around the entire shoe. Allow to dry completely.
- Using a very small, round brush, draw octopus on the side heel of the shoe with Black. (Use a dabbing stroke to apply paint to get into the fabric.)
- Paint the tentacles around to the front and the other side of the shoes. Allow to dry thoroughly. Remove the tape and re-apply the laces.
