Tips On Selecting Silk Painting Supplies

By Jayne Rutledge


Many artists like using silk painting supplies to decorate clothing. While some persons do this for commercial reasons, on quite a few occasions people will give this type of work to their loved ones as gifts. Whatever the reason for indulging in this creative endeavor it is important to have top quality inks available. This makes a dramatic difference in the final end product.

Talent is a significant factor when it comes to creating beautiful original work. However if an artist has great materials to work with, they can do even more than they would be able to with just ordinary equipment. It can be hard to distinguish one type of item from another in the same category based solely on its description.

Some people try different brands of silk painting supplies when they first start out and then finally settle on just one because the products meet their requirements. In many cases, artists find that inks carry a scent that can be heavy and sometimes causes irritation of the nasal passages. People who have sinus problems or suffer from asthma should look for products that carry a mild scent.

You should also be on the lookout for paints that are dense. Some are very tick coming out of the bottle but when you try to dilute them, you end up with a faint color. In some cases it is difficult to get an even shade on all areas of the fabric. This is a significant problem and may even interrupt your work or cause frustration.

Marbling kits are popular among people who like to use them to create interesting designs. Fabric lends itself well to marbling, as do many other types of media. However you must have a complete set of light, dark and primary shades in order to achieve optimal effects. Look out for this mix while making your selection.

Ensure that the pigments in the marbling kits are of good density. You may be tempted to think that they surpass that provided in kit for students just because of their price. However, some are far below that. Check the product listing to find out what is in it. Although some contain paper and other essential tools, you should never assume that will be present in all those that you see.

Blank silk scarves bring joy to novices who have visions of how their work will look once it is completed. People who operate studios of their own also experience the feeling of anticipation that comes with seeing a blank sheet. These materials are available in packs by themselves but also come in kits with applicator bottles, brushes and stretcher frames.

Many people who look for silk painting supplies cut their own stencils when necessary and they enjoy doing so. However, you may also find suitable stencils at stores that provide water based resist, no flow primers, surface design dextrins, waxes, brushes, gutta and other materials that help you make your work look good.
