Description: I had the awesome task of creating a gift for a patron of mine to surprise his wife with on Christmas morning. This was the second Hermes Birkin bag that I have painted and yes again I was super nervous. I wanted to do a good job at being very clean with my set up. Masking off was a must for a valued surface such as this and I spent my time with so as to not have any surprises when I unmasked the piece. Merry Christmas Lori! We hope you love your new bag, and Brett, you are a true Gentleman. To prepare the painted area, I used Angelus Leather Preparer: tinyurl.com/wvc7m24 For the rest of the painting duties, I used Nova Color Acrylics: novacolorpaint.com And as always, for my brushes, I used my favorite Trekell Art Supplies: trekell.com (I prefer the Golden Taklons, but they are all terrific) -Greg "CRAOLA" Simkins Here are some places you can find me on the web: NEWS and INFO: gregsimkinsart.com BOOKS, PRINTS, ORIGINALS, and MERCH: shop.gregsimkinsart.com INSTAGRAM instagram.com/craola TWITTER twitter.com/home My Art Supply Lists: Trekell Brushes and supplies: bit.ly/3cxBXlV NOVA COLOR ACRYLIC PAINT: tkqlhce.com/click-100603772-15198765 TOOL LIST: amazon.com/shop/craola Follow These Artists! they share their amazing techniques!
