Creating quality silk painting is not that easy - it can take literally days of work! But if you enjoy the end result like I do, it's worth it! The piece of work shown below took about 2 weeks of studio time to complete.
After developing your design, make a template that will slide under the silk and place your preliminary lines on the silk.
Depending on your design size and complexity, this can take many hours.
Now that the dyes are on the silk, the dye setting process begins. I set my dyes with a professional steamer.
Preparing the piece for steaming and the setting process could take up to 5 hours.
The piece above took about 40 hours of work, from start to finish.
