Paint Boots in Acrylics

First off lets get the supplies together.

Transfer boot outline

With graphite paper and the design transfer the boots to your surface. For this demonstration I used a 14 x 11 canvas. A downloadable pattern will be available in the subscriber resource library.

The boots are a fairly straightforward design and can easily be drawn on if you prefer.

For the back ground find a lesson here: Paint a neutral background.

Paint boots with White

Using the 3/4″ flat brush load with plenty of white and just fill in the area. The graphite lines should easily show through.

Paint Boot base

I did not know exactly what to call this part of the boot but I will refer to it as trim.

Mix some Pure Black with Wicker White to get a medium to light gray. Don’t be to precious about it, as long as it is on the lighter side it is fine.

Using the #10 flat brush pull a stroke along the trim line. The width of the brush is about the right size to create the line.

For the next trim just add a touch more black to the previous mixture of Wicker White and Black to create a darker gray.

Using the #10 flat brush paint the bottom of the boot edge.

The very bottom is painted with Pure Black and add a touch of shadow on the right boot where the two boots meet.

Paint the boot details

With the 3/4″ flat brush double load with Wicker White and Navy Blue.

This is a different double load, instead of half of each color you want to load most of the brush with the Wicker White and just a touch of the Navy on the opposite corner. (the video will help a lot with this)

Stroke along the left edges of the boots and along the detail on the front. You want the blue to be subtle and not a stark line.

You could also do this step with black if you prefer.

Paint the top band of the boots with a gray mix like the base. Using the #10 flat brush just pull and band across both boots.

Next create the tab on the boots with the same color and brush.

Now you have some sweet boots to fill with flowers, vines or whatever your hearth desires to paint.

Soon the Hydrangeas and Roses section of this painting will be available.
