OK, my plan to paint laced shoes in under an hour was a colossal failure. I got all BUT the laces painted in under an hour, but then spent over an hour JUST on the laces. Finally giving up and giving in to the idea that they were "stylized" laces...some parts looked real which allowed the rest of the unreal parts to be forgiven, overlooked. My favorite part of the painting is the background, perhaps because we just started with some cooler temperatures and Fall is on the mind, and the orange and brown looks Fall-ish. I used prussian blue for the shoe canvas, and all of my white parts ended up tinted with the blue, which I think works ok because if they were white-white they'd look out of place. Not sure if I'll continue to mess with this one tomorrow, I may just need to move on from laced shoes.
