These are paint pens used on rawhide...I'm not very good with a paint brush.  I like to dye the rawhide after.  This got a little darker then I wanted but it turned out pretty good.

Yep acrylic will work fine. I have also used the paint pens I picked up from hobby lobby.

I have also "stained" the rawhide with watered down RIT and also leather dye.
