Silk Painting: Refilling Gold Liner from the Tubes to the Bottles
We all have our habits and one of mine in silk painting is always to use the little plastic bottles with nibs for drawing my resist lines. I’ve never liked the tubes. It’s just one of those things. But a few days ago I realised I was going to have to order some more gold resist as I have a silk painting workshop coming up and saw that I didn’t have enough for the participants. So I went online and … Continue reading

Silk Painting and Fluorescent Dyes
I received my first samples of fluorescent dyes quite a while back from a lovely silk painter colleague of mine, Don Baker, and I must admit that they got put on the shelf with fabulous intentions….

That was my challenge which I took immediately. So after buying some distilled water, I … Continue reading

Which Silk Quality Can I Use?
I often get asked by people which is the most suitable silk quality to use for silk painting. What I am sharing with you here is based on my personal experience over the years.

I will be looking at silk weights in another post. … Continue reading
