  • I recently custom painted a Hermes Birkin Bag for one of my favorite patrons. I used acrylic paints to get the job done. Here is a link to the paints I used.
    To prepare the painted area, I used Angelus Leather Preparer:
    tinyurl.com/wv...
    For the rest of the painting duties, I used Nova Color Acrylics:
    novacolorpaint...
    And as always, for my brushes, I used my favorite Trekell Art Supplies:
    www.trekell.com (I prefer the Golden Taklons, but they are all terrific)

    Wow this looks amazing ..Yes those bags are expensive if I am not mistaken if you want one and put an order in direct it’s a long wait too..But your art has not distracted from the bags beauty ,only enhanced it 😀

    Greg... You're worried you're going to ruin the bag? Not possible dude! If this woman uses this bag as a purse she's insane! As with all your work, it deserves to be framed and hung on the wall! Absolutely incredible work Greg! As I've said before... Michelangelo, DaVinci, Dali all strived to be as talented as you but none of them quite made it. You are, without a doubt, the best!

    • @1636Westmin2

      I’m pretty sure the brushes sell throughout the world. I’m not sure about the paint. You should check out golden acrylic paints. I’m pretty sure they carry them in the UK. I suggest using the fluid version of the brand. It comes in heavy body and fluid.

    Sure that kind of bag is a peace of art, made by a bunch of talented small hands. But once a famous name is added to it it's awesome...? As the f******* awesome painter you are,I hope that kind of commission is worth the bank account for you, but really don't have any interrest for us , it's a private project after all

    You really should paint more on bags. No kidding! We have a celebrity here in the Philippines WHO paint bags. Here name is Heart Evangelista. Rich people Will pay her alot of money Just to paint there Hermes bags Just because she is a celebritt. But honestly her paintings aren’t really worth the amount the people pay her to paint there bags. I would rather have you paint my bag if than her. But of course I a.m not rich and have no hermes bag.
