Painted Short Sleeve Sweatshirt


Painted Short Sleeve Sweatshirt - The Purchase


Painted Short Sleeve Sweatshirt.


I purchased this sweatshirt at a thrift shop.


It had a logo on it.


My idea was to paint the sweatshirt, while leaving part of the logo exposed.


The sweatshirt is oversized, which makes it cozy and comfy.


A short sleeved sweatshirt would normally not grab my attention, but this one did.


It looks much better on an actual body, than it did on the rack.

Painted Short Sleeve Sweatshirt - One of My Favorite Things to Paint


I recently discovered that I like painting sweatshirts, or any clothing item made like a sweatshirt.


This includes jackets, and dresses.


I think the texture of the garment makes it enjoyable to paint.


There are so many colors that are flattering to the original gray.


I chose many of them: yellow, red, turquoise, silver, white, and magenta.


These colors are splattered across the front of the sweatshirt.


The back has a splash of white paint.

This sweatshirt would look great with a pair of jeans, or a jean skirt, and colorful high heeled sandals.


Big hair.


Big earrings.


Big purse.


Big belt.


Outfit complete.


Painted Short Sleeve Sweatshirt - A Trip Down Memory Lane


When I first started painting, it was on canvas.


I then started painting on card stock as well.


Eventually, I expanded to wood.


Then, one day, I experimented to see if I could paint on a tee shirt. 


The results were greater than I expected!


I quickly got hooked on painting tee shirts.


Each one that I painted had an abstract design.


The colors changed, but the core design was the same.


How much fun they were to paint!


In time, I graduated to jean jackets, and other types of clothing.


It seems that the more clothing items I paint, the more ideas I get.


I also continue to learn a lot.


So much trial, and error.

Painted Short Sleeve Sweatshirt - My Favorite Colors

When I was younger, black was my favorite color.


When one looked in my closet, they would see all black.


Black shoes.


Black tops.


Black skirts.


Black pants.


Black dresses.


I am happy to say that this is no longer true.


I now like colors in the red-ish, orange-ish, and magenta-ish categories.


I have to make a effort not to paint everything these colors.


So, how did I do...?
