Product Description : Master the secrets of an exquisite art form. Silk painting is rapidly gaining an enthusiastic following among surface designers, fine artists, and craftspeople alike. The pure, transparent colors of the dyes, combined with the luxuriant drape of the silk itself, combine to make this a uniquely sensuous medium. By using gutta, wax, alcohol, or salt, the artist can create a variety of appealing textures and visual effects. This book shows exactly how to use each technique and how to combine them for intricate paintings.

About this product
Product Information
This work provides a complete course in an increasingly popular medium. Originating in Russia and migrating to America in the 1960s, the gutta resist method gave artists a new way to draw and paint on fabric using brilliant colour and without destroying the natural drape of the cloth (resists used prior to the gutta method stiffened the fabric). Following a short history of this revolutionary method, the artist covers the essentials of the silk painting art including the materials required (dyes, silks, applicators and brushes) and the basic palette of fabric dyes. Then, through a series of step-by-step lessons, she demonstrates the procedures of the gutta method. Beginning with how to draw and design using gutta, Moyer describes the direct method, the salt crystal method, the droplet method, the alcohol method and the faux batik method of application. The book concludes with methods for fixing the dyes permanently with steaming and dry cleaning.Product Identifiers

GOOD FOR THE SUPERB PICTURES.
The best thing is the huge range of Artwork in different techniques and the excellent photographs in colour . Its an American Book and uses the infuriatingly vague measurement like one cupful in a gallon of water, WHAT SIZE IS THE CUP? AND AMERICAN GALLONS ARE LARGER THAN OURS. METRIC UNITS ARE SO MUCH EASIER. There was some slight damage to the spine abrasion or possibly mouse chewed but i repaired it quite easily.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
