The One Thing You Need to Know to Get Started in Silk Painting
Painting on silk is a joy.
It is not difficult.
It is quick.
And it is rewarding.
The thing I like best about silk painting is the swiftness of seeing results – the colors, the beauty, and the immediate gratification. You can paint a scarf one day and be wearing it the next! Or hanging it on your wall for all to admire.
Personally, I love to take an image or design and simplify it down to a few lines and shapes. The color then becomes the main focus of the design. Silk soaks up the dye like magic, and it is a beautiful and stunning process to watch.
I'll be teaching a Silk Painting class in Athens in April, and I will send out more details in a few days.
Oh – and that one thing you need to know to get started in silk painting? It doesn’t take any special talent or skill. I will guide you through the process in our class.
Take care,
-René
