I’ll share my real-world results using Angelus acrylic leather paint, plus my own tested process for:

How to prep leather for painting

How to paint leather with acrylics

How to blend leather paint like watercolor

How to finish leather after painting

How to seal painted leather so it stays flexible

I only use paints designed for leather because they flex with your work — no cracking, no flaking. The Angelus acrylic leather paint set I use costs around $30 on Amazon — I’ll link it in the pinned comment so you can grab the same one.

💡 Leather Painting Pro Tip:
Always paint after tooling and before conditioning. Once your paint is dry, I condition every piece with my own all-natural Big Stacks Leather Butta — it spreads like a cream, soaks in like an oil, and keeps your leather soft, nourished, and protected.
