I always have an image and a feeling selected when I begin a painting. The magic of silk painting comes from the subjective images and combinations that emerge within these boundaries. It is still amazing to me how this happens. The essence of what I am painting comes through the flowing dye. Each painting is unique and is one of a kind.
Silk painting is the art of applying dye to silks, often to be used as scarves, ties, or clothing.
The finished works can also be framed pictures, wall hangings, or household decor. No experience in art is necessary. Painting on silk can be can be as simple as filling in the colors in a coloring book. On the other hand, an artist can create a beautiful painting on silk. The silk seems to glow with vibrancy and a special luster, adding a wonderful animation to the painting.
