"...I was delighted to get my copy of this wonderful video by guru Jill Kennedy. Excited as a little puppy, I popped it into my computer [eMac] and clicked Play.    Jill Kennedy's been around the silk painting industry for many years, and her wealth of knowledge and experience is shared in easy-to-understand language, guiding us step-by-step, through all the projects on the video.    145 minutes of easy-to-follow techniques including water, alcohol, antispread, thickener, discharge and of course - our old faithful, gutta [pronounced 'gootah'].    If you want to learn fantastic tips and techniques, or you know of anyone else remotely interested in painting on silk, this video will be the best buy of the year.    PS - I've been painting on silk since 1980 and there were some tips in here which I was thrilled to learn - now, what do they say about old dogs?" --Teena Hughes, Australian Silkworm (Australia)"...Jill Kennedy is the well know silk painting artist and co-author of "Silk Painting - New Ideas and Textures". She is also a great teacher! Jill's lively presentation and well organized format makes this how-to DVD a joy to watch. She's very clear, concise, and has a great British accent. The techniques she covers are perfect for beginners through intermediate silk painters and include getting set up, water, salt, alcohol, and sugar technique, as well as demystifying things like thickeners, discharge, anti-spread, wax and gutta. Demonstrations include paints and dyes, and how to fix them, including steaming. She says there's much more to learn, but we think there is enough here to keep anyone happily experimenting for a long time!" --Eric Bailey, Artist(USA)
