    Thanks for a great tutorial! For anyone thinking of painting along, I recommend watching the whole thing first as there's a section where Diane redoes some of the feather work - I'd diligently followed her previous steps so did want to cry a little bit at that point 😂 Looking forward to the full course and tips on mixing the right consistency of paint as I've definitely not nailed it yet!

    Thank you so much for sharing your techniques! I know it takes time and can be daunting to do tutorials, so it is much appreciated. I love that you explain your thoughts and when something doesn’t go to plan (like the pigeon’s head) you showed how you changed it into a result you liked.
    I have been using Chinese watercolor paints in the gongbi style on cicada wing paper and have a difficult time getting the same color dynamics, even with many many layers. I would love to try the gouache paints and your silk papers. I am curious - are your silk papers already paper-backed or do they need to be mounted once the painting is complete?

    • @dianehilldesign
      @dianehilldesign  9 місяців тому +2

      Thank you so much for taking the time to give me feedback, the silk paper is already paper backed :) I often give it a quick iron after I finish a painting and leave weighed down in between books for a super smooth finish!

    Your work is truly one of a kind, just stunning! May I ask, how are larger wallpanels treated after the painting is finished, to make it more durable (as wallcovering) and not water-soluble?
    I imagine only guache on silk would be incredibly sensitive?

    • @dianehilldesign
      @dianehilldesign  5 місяців тому

      Thank you!! I worked at one of the worlds leading silk wallpaper studios and we did not seal or varnish panels unless specifically requested for a high moisture area like a bathroom, or for an events space with very high traffic. Varnish can change the beautiful soft sheen of the silk, and cannot be brushed on. If someone caused damage to a silk wallpaper, I would visit and touch up with more painting, or we would ship them cut out butterflies to apply on top of marks.
