Van Doesburg and Mondrian are going to turn in their graves

How do you transform these...



Into something like these...?

  













It probably started long time ago, when I was exposed to the world De Stijl - the Dutch Pre WW2 art movement.
Unfortunately, I've never expressed it on canvas or in architectural design. But A few days back, when I read this nice blog I felt like i could easily buy a pair of inexpensive bata canvas shoes and transform them into a De stijl (masterpiece).

Step 1: Buy simple white Bata canvas shoes.
Step 2: Buy acrylic fabric paints and paint brushes
Step 3: Remove laces and pencil out the rough template of the your masterpiece.














Step 4: Dip a thin brush in the black paint and start drawing it out. This dries quite fast.















Step 5: Add some colour if needed.
Step 6: Lace them up! And click pictures
