Can you use oil paints when painting canvas sneakers?

I was wondering if I can use oil paints on canvas sneakers and how do I go about prepping sealing the shoe to preserve the final product.

Don't do that. The paint will not weather well.It will crack plus, you can't protect it with what will need to be an accompanying OIL based varnish...and have it remain flexible. (Oil varnish would for SURE crack).

Use acrylic and paint a base coat in white acrylic first.
Let that base coat fully dry.
Then paint designs in acrylic.
When that dries, go over that paint with the accompanying colors of glitter/plasticized translucent fabric paint to render the paint flexible. (so over your yellow--for instance --acrylic paint, you'd go over that dried paint with yellow sheer glittery fabric paint. It goes on looking milky. Fear not. It will dry birlliant and sheer and completely enhance the colors)

Then, once that is dry, go over all the painted canvas with a clear acrylic gloss medium to secure the integrity of the plasticized craft paint and also add to the water resistance.
***
TIP:
Just DON'T put the top-coat of clear acrylic gloss medium on the rubber part(toe etc) of shoe--it will not adhere and will eventually get dirty and peel right off.
***
I know this is a multi step and tedious seeming procedure but, really, it's worth it.

The shoe will now be flexible, water resistant and the colors will jump out. (When you apply the craft paint, it will SEEM like the craft paint is not sheer but--let it dry. You'll see! It makes the colros absolutely POP!)

Here--check out Converse sneakers I painted in berlin (last april), using the method I described above...8 months later...they are still looking and feeling GREAT after wearing them a lot and in the rain.

I also painted jeans in this exact same manner.
Check those out.
Of course, with jeans, one must do one side. Let that dry completely, then, paint the other side.
I have worn these jeans TONS of times and washed them inside out in cold water on gentle setting (inside out to wash so paint does not abrade), and hung them out to dry also inside out because air has to dry the denimn...then...you have to flip them right side out to dry the painted side.

(It's a bit tedious even caring for these jeans but--they're wearable art=> worth it!)

OK-check these jeans out...one of a kind on the planet like this.

Good luck with your shoes. I look forward to seeing them when they're done. Will you share with me a pic of them when you finish them please?
