Dick Blick sells a painting fabric medium that you mix with acrylic paint to keep the paint flexible. Once it has dried on fabric it is as permanent as paint is on canvas. It is advertised for painting on sweatshirts, etc. Works like a dream. You use regular artists acrylic paint available in all colors at Hobby Lobby or from Dick Blick or anywhere else.

Golden GAC 900 Fabric Medium is the fabric medium that Dick Blick sells. It is what keeps the paint soft and pliable. Use according to directions, test a piece of fabric first to be sure it meets your standards and adjust accordingly.I have had excellent results with the paint being as flexible as dye.
