    I'm sorry the best will always be Captain Kirk, in velvet or not.

    Also, the Supernatural painting is JUDGING ME. MAKE THEM STOP.

    Velvet painting is harder than it looks to execute. You have to be methodical about it... it doesn't take paint well, and best done in oil, and takes a long time to dry...
    I tried to get tips from a rad Mexican dude selling them at a fair, but he didn't want to spill his secrets. Off to the lab. #starwars

    @bonniegrrl: Transferring on to the velvet isn't an issue got me-- it is when you brush oil paint, there is no priming so the fluid part of the oil sucks into the velvet, and leaves the color sort of wicking on the surface. The only thing I discovered was to -dab- paint on in layers. Only oil and oil enamel can do this; everything else like acrylic wonks out (synthetic velvet may be the issue).
    It would be better executed in a Bob Ross style (seriously, palette knives, thick paint, dabbin' straight out the tube).
    We have now hijacked this thread into arts n' crafts techniques. Thanks for the tip, yo! #art #starwars

    @gods-n-clods: I'm using acrylics, but also glitter paint and poster paint to see which stands out the best. I'll keep ya posted on what's working for me. ;-) #starwars

    @gods-n-clods: [velvetjuanita.blogspot.com] I watched this artist on Oregon Art Beat last week and I think she was using fabric paints, it looked like the soft touch in a bottle that I buy from Jo-ann's. I'd try the Neopaque line from Jacquard [www.jacquardproducts.com] #starwars
