dye-painting silk class 20 May 2017
In May this year, my studio was graced by four talented and inspired ladies. None had dyed or painted silk before,yet they all created beautiful silk artworks. This group was full of joy as they painted, and it shows in their lovely artworks.
Starting on blank (white) silk.
Each group works together on a first silk - in this case with a theme of hearts and leaves - life!

Lovely use of drybrush...and then re-wetted.
Wow!
