Silk Painting

The first thing you need to know about silk painting is that everyone can do it. Some people do it better than others of course, but you do not need to be a gifted artist to be able to create a beautiful picture.

Sitting in front of a piece of stretched white silk with paintbrush in hand can be a daunting prospect for many silk painters. Paint and dyes have a life of their own once they have been let loose on the silk which is part of the silk painting magic and why it is so popular and exciting. However this is also the reason so many silk painters become disillusioned and are disappointed with the results of all their effort.
