WORKING WITH WATER-BASED SILK PAINTS | JEAN-BAPTISTE

A batik silk painting tutorial with St. Lucian artist Daniel Jean-Baptiste on how to paint using water-based silk paints.

Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of colour and light by painting wet-on-wet method in which liquid paints are delicately applied using small Sumi bamboo sheep hair brushes. The silk is positioned flat while suspended in a stretcher so that the wet colours can bleed freely on the fabric. The finished piece is water-resistant and lightfast, ready for framing behind glass.

Jean-Baptiste uses tropical nature as his inspiration and silk as his Canvas.
