Silk Pigmenting Process

​

Silk pigmenting stands apart from traditional mediums like oil or watercolor due to its meticulous preparation process. The silk is first cleaned, framed, and treated with gelatin water to fill its pores, creating the ideal surface for painting.  Unlike other methods, most of the artwork is done on the back of the silk, with finishing touches applied on the front. This technique allows for distinct color layering and depth, resulting in a one-of-a-kind, luminous piece.  What I love about silk painting is its ability to blend tradition with innovation, producing truly unique and vibrant works of art.
