6/13/19 #123 Converse Sneakers

Another photo from Pixels....a pair of converse sneakers, just like Faith's.  Decided I needed to try these shoes on again!  The color in the photo wasn't near as clear-cut as the one I took of Faith's shoes, but I used the experience of painting Faith's shoes to influence a more interesting color on these shoes.  I tried to keep it loose again....it worked OK, though I'm still not happy with the laces, but from a distance they look fine.  Getting the wood grain of the decking was a challenge.  I painted it brown, then streaked it with tan and red (aliz.crimson, a bit more translucent than cad.red)...didn't like it, so I continued to streak some more, dark brown and dark tan, and eventually just decided it was close enough to looking like a plank of stained wood.
