I Painted a Tote Bag for a Gift to a Friend

---

Hello! How are you? Sometimes my brain only fully functions at night, and I am more active doing something without distractions and noise. Yesterday the tote bag, paint, and brush I ordered got delivered, and I am so eager to paint something, it has been a while since I painted a tote bag. So I decided not to sleep and just paint until past midnight to rush a gift for Ate Hive account@straykat( which she posted an unboxing Unboxing: A Surprise Gift from Leann!) the last time we were supposed to meet was canceled because I got sick, and I assumed we were going to meet the next day when she asked me to go hang out, but she has no idea that I am on my way LOL. She asks me before we call it a day if that day we are supposed to go out. I was so excited that I did not realize, LOL. Sorry, I am just excited to go out. :D

Materials I Used:

---

Lets Paint!

I lay flat the tote bag and then I put it in this Plastic Paper inside the tote bag just to protect it from paint.

---

And then on the piece of paper, I sketch the design I am going to paint and then I prepare the pencil and eraser I am going to use to draw the reference.

---

Then I sketch the line art lightly.

---

For this part, I am going to mix lemon yellow and burnt sienna to make different shades of yellow.

---

Textile paint is what I am supposed to use to paint fabric so to convert the acrylic paint to textile I used textile medium.

---

Mix the paint until fully incorporated.

---

I like to start with light colors first at first it still looks unappealing but it is going to get better later.

---

I first paint the petals.

---

I then mix paint to paint the middle part of the sunflower.

---

I started to paint the middle part of the sunflower I started to paint the outline of it first.

---

Then I started to mix the paint green with the shades I was going to use.

---

I start with the lightest green first.

---

Then I mix it again with a darker shade of green.

---

I painted where the part is darker.

---

I do not regret buying this brush.

---

I mixed burnt sienna and phthalo blue for the shadow.

---

I start adding more details to it.

---

Now the paint starting to have more life to it.

---

I wanted to add more dark line art to it so I mixed more of it and started outlining the line art.

---

This is how it looks like when it is done.

---

Then mix red to add my signature. I should use a thinner brush for it but I like it.

---

This is how it looks like when it's done.

---

The next day, I started to pack it. By the way, it was fully dry.

---

Need to pack it securely and I added some of the stickers I made. :D I hope Ate Kat like it.
