Cotton Fabrics (Wearables)

Wearable cotton fabrics are a common surface for painting with acrylics.  We recommend laundering new garments before painting to remove any sizing or chemicals from manufacturing.

We do not recommend oil, watercolor, or drawing media on wearable fabrics.  

Acrylics do not require any sizing or grounds and can be painted directly on the fabric.  If a softer finish and increased launder-ability is desired, mix GAC 900 1:1 with Fluid Acrylics, then heat set.

Over time, all wearables will fade with wear and laundering.
