This lesson is one of my favorites, and it’s super fun because you’re gonna paint shoes! remember, you can explore and experiment with the process and steps whenever you want – this exploration and experimentation will help you find your OWN process and style.

Before Starting

To have a perfect learning-practice day, make sure you are ready:

  1. Gather all your materials, and set them in your favorite place to work with watercolors. Check out the materials list for this lesson below the video.
  2. Sketch the footwear you want to paint before you click play. In the video, I show how to paint a pair of shoes, so you have to have a sketch of the shoes you want to paint. And, the more sketches you have to paint, the better!
  3. Determine the colors you want for the garment.
  4. Play your favorite music, and now you’re ready!

Let’s go!
