9:06 - One of the most useful drawing tools that was introduced to me is a General's Sketch and Wash Pencil. You can draw whatever you want on the silk and it stays. Once you put the silk in the steamer all of the graphite disappears completely! I've been silk painting for over 10.5 years using this technique the whole time and I've had no problems.
@@denisestover2416 hi I just read your post about the general sketch and wash pencil. If I’m using Dino flow, I won’t be steaming anything so can I still use that pencil and it wash out after using dye n Flo on Silk Scarf?
@susanmcmillan1548 HI, Susan. I only use Dye•Na•Flo (DNF) for my ties and they can't get too wet. So, I lightly sketch my drawing onto the tie (with the General's pencil) and then I paint over the lines. I haven't used the pencils with DNF on any scarves because I only use dyes for those, but I imagine that you can just paint over the graphite, spritz water on the graphite that's exposed after you've heat set the DNF and gently rub the graphite out or once you've heat set the DNF on the scarf you can hand wash it (or however you wash your scarves) and the graphite will come out. I've recently purchased ink pens that are for marking on fabrics and then removed with heat. I haven't tried them yet, but I will soon - if God says the same! I hope I've helped 🙂. If I can help further and Ilona Stűre does not mind, you can contact me at chirhosilkstudio@gmail.com.
I'm already an experienced artist in oil and watercolor. But I'm thinking of painting a silk, if it's not too much of a challenge. I have a lovely large frame with a batik in it, floated between 2 pieces of glass. The batik is really faded, and I don't know who made the batik. But I'm thinking of replacing it with a silk painting of my own, if not too much of a "learning curve". I've painted fish too, I like your fish.
watercolor is very similar to silk painting, as I see it. Hope you'll enjoy it. May be you tell about the process and result afterwards ... would be nice to hear it.
This was great. Your method of doing different things in each square to show the various possibilities is really helpful. It was interesting to see the way the various paints reacted with the silk. I would love to see an instructional video about dyes vs. paints. Having not purchased any supplies yet, I am leaning toward dyes as they seem to move more fluidly. Is this correct? Anyway, Love all of your videos
Thank you. within 3-4 days a video about resist is going to be published, and exactly the next video was planned about dyes and paints. Both have advantages and disadvantages (as always🙂). I'll tell in video.
I learned from you that there is a black resist. That is good to know. Also, I didn’t know about the textile markets. Appreciate the video. Thank you so much.
Thank you very much. And if you don't mind I have a question for: what kind of learning do you mean? I'm asking because I was going to start online course, but haven't decided what type of it to choose.
I am researching silk painting and I found this very helpful. A question- how do you get rid of the paints you didn't use and to clean the palate, brushes. I would also like a lead on where to get these products please- there are videos but it would be helpful to be directed to good sites to get these items Thanks I have bookmarked this!
Hello, as I remember in this video I was using acrylic paints. Acryl is water based so a palette and brushes are washed out with water. The paints which are left in little cups, (if they are clean) I return in jars, otherwise just wash out with water. All my stuff was bought at a local art supply store. I think the brand doesn't matter much I guess, the main things - color, it's better to have bright ones. Than you can mute them when mixing. But you'll never get bright color from muted. Thank you too!
Hi, thank you for a very entertaining and informative video. I'm hoping I can add a photo of this product I'm going to use on my next scarf. I found it while surfing on Amazon. It is a water-soluble graphite pencil. It is by General's and called Sketch & Wash.
Loved your video , even though I know some silk painting looking at your video gave me so many ideas and the slow step by step was perfect . I hope you make new videos soon 🌹
Glad it was helpful! actually it was my point - to share more ideas and tricks, and looking at mines you'll create your owns! thank you for this feedback! yes, I understand than I'm supposed to make more videos with explanations ))) it will happen but a bit later (currently busy with big project)
How do I prepare my silk fabric before I use Dino flow? Do I wash and cold water with a little fabric softener or Coldwater with vinegar? Help. I love your videos. Thank you very much for posting.
@@susanmcmillan1548 softener is good after steaming or ironing (in the end of process). I've read dye-na-flow instruction: they haven't mention vinegar.
Nice work. Your video is so helpful n explained in a very easy way. I will definitely try with my design. I'm from India. Can you suggest any silk paint which is available everywhere? May be on Amazon?
thank you very much ! my best regards to India:)) as I know Dupont Dyes are popular, but rather expensive and need to be steamed. I'll try to find out nearest days and I'll let you know a bit later

Do I put a little fabric softener or vinegar in the water?

Muchasssssss GRACIAS
Me ha encantado
aaaaaah!!!! thank you very much!!!! enjoy!!!
As well- do you need to prepare the silk first- like scour it?? To take out any impurities?
I usually don't. But there will no be any harm of doing this :))
This was very helpful. I am just learning about silk painting. What do you call the clips or hooks, where do I find them to buy?
Glad it was helpful! Actually I bought them at my local art supplies store.

Do you mean fabric? This was pure silk, but fine cotton can be used as well. Usually silk for painting is available in Art Supplies Stores
What color you do youse?
those were acrylic/in other words water based/ no flow textile paints of different manufactures/brands.
Thank you mam
