Question:

What kind of paint and what kind of paint brush(es) are good to use when painting designs on shoes or clothes.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Liquitex makes a fabric prep medium that you put on your t shirts first to keep them from getting stiff when the paint dries.
You can use acrylic fabric paint that is in tubes, and snip off the end with scissors which is found in most hobby stores. this lets you out line and make designs like cake decorating. Toll painting bottles are fine to fill in the color but any acrylic paint will work. There was a lady on line making a great income painting china like tea roses on Mary Jane shoes for baby's.She was using acrylic paint that was heat set with a hair dryer on plastic shoes.
I would just buy a starter set of cheap brushes, as sometime when they come in a bundle you can get a better value. Brushes, a find spray bottle of water, Palomar acrylic medium for a final varnish, and the fabric medium and what every paint you can find at the craft store in the colors you are looking for will work fine.
