How to paint fabrics

Applying a base coat of color

Begin the embellishing process of your art doll with a base coat of color. If your doll is made of fabric, you can use fabric paints. In addition regular acrylic paints can be used. Try them full strength for a textured finish but beware that the dry paint might crack if your doll is plush or soft. Acrylic paints can be diluted with water to achieve a variety of textures and shades. Experiment!
