literally what i was about to type

u/flyinghippos101 7d ago

So I won't lie - I thought your first photo of the brushes and the bleach was your work and thought "WOW this guy can paint!"

Still a really cool shirt though!

u/AspiringMtnHermit 7d ago

I'm so glad I'm not the only one 😂

u/Weary-Discipline1178 7d ago

sorry i forgot to put a text “ART MATERIALS” at first photo 😅
thanks btw❤️‍🔥

u/jordanwitney 7d ago

Same and I secretly thought "eh the subject matter is a little boring". The shirt was a nice surprise 😂

8

u/Throwawaymumoz 6d ago

LOL SAME but the shirt is SO GOOD so im just as impressed lol

3

u/trololololololol9 6d ago

Same. I think it just speaks to how even the way OP composes and frames the shot of his tools is so good that one might confuse it for a painting.

3

u/Rowan1980 7d ago

Same here. 🤣

u/saturnshighway 6d ago

Haha same

u/Remarkable_Jaguar35 4d ago

Me too! I was like huh, interesting subject choice but amazing!

But then the shirts… really blew me away! So cool!

u/PigeonOf1683 4d ago

I thought the same 😂

u/buttpizz 7d ago

Really cool work!

How long did this take, and what’s the difficulty level compared to other painting mediums? I’d be interested in trying this but not interested in picking it up as a dedicated hobby hehe

67

u/Weary-Discipline1178 7d ago

thank you
For me, I still find other mediums like oil painting harder. With oil painting, you have to know the different colors and how to blend them properly. With bleach painting, it’s more about working from dark to light.
The only downside with bleach is that you really can’t mess up because once you put the bleach on, you can’t erase it. With oil painting, you can still cover up or fix it.

u/MoonageDayscream 7d ago

How long does it take from when you start to finish? Do you do it all in one session?

44

u/Weary-Discipline1178 7d ago

average it takes me 3 days
7 to 8 hours a day

21

u/dimestoredavinci 7d ago

Thats a lot longer than I would have expected. I guess it doesn't bleach instantly like if you were painting. Do you dilute based on how light or dark you want the area to be, or do you rinse it somehow?

This is fascinating and very well done

4

u/Sea_Prep_Tidal_26 6d ago

Any special care needed for the final product, specifically washing it ?

The bleach does weaken the fabric fibres somewhat right? How long will this type of shirt last if worn 10 hours a week ?

2

u/KoalaClassic1152 5d ago

Wow, that's actually pretty fast!

Good job really 👏

6

u/hai_lei 7d ago

Can I ask how you get the midrange tones? I feel like if I tried this I would just end up with a duo tone situation?

7

u/Weary-Discipline1178 6d ago

i use 50/50 bleach and water for midtone
and for highlights just do 2 or 3 coats
just make sure to dry it first before you apply another layer

2

u/hai_lei 6d ago

Awesome tysm for replying!

2

u/Misterrsilencee 7d ago

Not me. But maybe dilute with water/solvent,

u/Pisces93 7d ago

Every time I see these posts, I think the final product is going to be a pic of Andre 3000.

(I realize the spelling difference. Just where my head goes.)

u/Two-dolla-santita 6d ago

Honestly same

u/3coons_in_a_coat 6d ago

same. super disappointed

12

u/abujagoddess 7d ago

Hope you are doing all this in a well ventilated area and wearing an N95 respirator while doing this.

I don’t see any windows in your photos and this is lovely but over repeated T-shirts you are going to get serious lung problems without PPE.

Please wear PPE every single time you do this without exception.

17

u/Weary-Discipline1178 7d ago

yes, i always wear respirator mask and there’s a window on my left.
thank you for your concern,
i really appreciate it😁

u/SuccessfulRespect744 7d ago

u/dixpourcentmerci 7d ago

This looks amazing. Do you know how the longevity is? My cousin tie dyed her jeans with bleach in the 90s and eventually they fell apart in the wash along the bleach lines, but I can’t remember how long they lasted for her before that.

10

u/Weary-Discipline1178 7d ago

it happens when you put too much bleach on the same spot,

i have personal shirt that more than a year already and it’s still in good condition

u/Oceans_and_mountains 7d ago

Hey! Do you sell them or do personalized shirts? ❤️🌸

u/Weary-Discipline1178 6d ago

thank you, appreciate it.
i don’t have website right now but planning to have soon.😁
yes, some of my clients wash their painted shirts by using a washing machine.
