BATIK SILK PAINTING WITH JEAN-BAPTISTE - FINE ART - SCHOOLING FISH

This video depicts how Master Silk Artist Daniel Jean-Baptiste creates unique art on silk. This one is of schooling fish. 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. Jean-Baptiste uses tropical nature as his inspiration and silk as his Canvas.
