New painting

This new silk painting is done with 18" x 36" silk habotai, sprayed with one coat of magic sizing, no resist or gutta was used here. I used Dynaflow and Setasilk paints instead of dyes. Copic alcohol based markers were used to outline some of the petals on the flowers. Here is the finished painting and the drawing used in the painting. This is just some of what can be accomplished in silk painting. Everyone has their own unique style for paintings, which makes the " Mark" of the artist, I.e. You can tell which artist painted the piece by the style of the painting itself in most cases. I plan on painting the same design, on 18" x 24" in watercolor and see which I like best, so look for a comparison painting once it's finished.

Enjoy, happy painting.
