Diverse Types Of Silk Painting Supplies

By Claudette Lambert


To paint a fabric like silk can be a bit difficult as silk is a very delicate fabric and if any mistakes are made, the paint could over stain the fabric making your design look entirely ugly. You have to choose the best available silk painting supplies just to make sure you are able to imprint your design in a perfect way without making any mistakes at all.

While painting silk fabric, there are a few aspects that you need to consider. One of it is to try an avoid the paint from spreading out. You might need to make a specific outline of the required design with a certain sort of resisting material, since without safety the paint could easily spread out.

An excellent product that is widely recognized as a good resist on silk fabrics is the beeswax. Beeswax is soft textured and when you melt it, it becomes even more softer and you can apply it over your silk material without any trouble. Just layout the design and let it dry. No breaks should appear in the middle of the lines, otherwise it might spread out of the split lines.

Although it takes sometime to learn the tricks and techniques involved in such kind of painting, but once you master the techniques it gets a lot more easier for you. The end result you gather would be error free, try your best and give yourself some time before you become an expert.

For some reason, if the dye spreads out you don't need to panic and think of covering it up. For example, if you have a floral design you can always add extra flowers, leaves or petals to cover up the leaked paint. Similarly you can cover up other abstract designs by adding more colors to it. The reason why you have to cover up the leaks is because its a difficult process to erase such errors completely due to the nature of the fabric.

Another supply that you must choose accurately is the paint brush. You will require multiple number of paint brushes, a few to apply the wax and others for painting. Its better to purchase a whole set that has small to large brushes. Moreover, don't opt for hard bristled or synthetic brushes because they are no good for delicate fabrics. Instead, paint brush with natural fiber bristles are the ideal ones.

Once you have finalized the brushes you are going to use and the type of resist you would prefer, the last thing is to choose the paint colors. There are different sorts of fabric dyes and paints available in the market but you have to choose the one that is suitable for painting on silky fabrics. Any fabric dye can't be used as either it will not properly stain the clothing or it will spread out evenly.

In this manner, regarding silk painting supplies you have to be extremely watchful about what you're purchasing. You don't need to use branded and expensive products. There are numerous inexpensive and cheap yet great quality items available in the market that you can choose according to your liking.
