Kärlek: Love it! :-) So, which mediums did you use and what made you choose them?

SH: I used acrylic paint for the orange, magenta and yellow background, and use paint pens for the fine details. I used the acrylic paints because I find them to be the most vibrant. I used paint pens because I find them a lot easier to draw small details (compared to drawing with a paintbrush).

Kärlek: What did you enjoy most about using a Kärlek backpack as your canvas?

SH: I loved painting the texture of the backpack – it was a new type of canvas for me. I also enjoyed feeling into what my painting would look like when I was wearing my backpack. That influenced where and what I painted.

Kärlek: Do you have any tips or thoughts to share about your experience?

SH: Create intentional space for your painting experience. I recommend lighting a candle, putting on your favorite music, and allowing your paintbrushes to guide you.
