I’ve painted fabric furniture and a lamp shade with great success! Merely water down paint to almost milk consistency, spray the shade with water and paint. It will take several coats and bear in mind the color of the paint will affect the dispersement of light.

check our you tube videos for painting upholstery. I’ve done with and without the fabric medium and I can say that without the medium and just the Water technique works best.
