BATIK SILK PAINTING WITH JEAN-BAPTISTE - “FLAMING FLIAMINGO“

Jean-Baptiste Painting a flamingo on silk in this short silk painting demonstration video. Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of colour and light by painting wet-on-wet method in which liquid paints are delicately applied using small Sumi bamboo sheep hair brushes. The silk is positioned flat while suspended in a stretcher so that the wet colours can bleed freely on the fabric. The finished piece is water-resistant and lightfast, ready for framing behind glass. Jean-Baptiste uses tropical nature as his inspiration and silk as his Canvas. Visit these sites for more information on his silk paintings.
