After the design is approved, the next step is to prepare the painting medium, which is fabric. The fabric is then spread out on a large work table to facilitate the painting process. The painter ensures the fabric surface is clean so that the paint can adhere perfectly.

After the sketch is complete, the painter starts filling in colors using acrylic paint. This coloring process is done gradually, starting from the base colors to small details like shadows and highlights.
Each brush stroke creates a unique visual effect, enhancing the impression of the banner as a piece of manual art. Bright colors ensure the banner stands out even from a distance.
