Another Iris

I just finished this painting on silk, it was interesting to see how it looked as a finished piece. 

IRIS IN BLOOM

Spring is here...

Iris is one of my favorite flower to paint. I love the ruffles of the petals, they remind me of flamingo dancing.

The delicacy of this flower is enhanced by the beauty of the flow of silk ...

Datura Flowers on Silk

Hi Everyone

Sorry, I have been busy with various projects and was not able to post anything recently. Well, the news is that I have just finished a painting on silk. I used my watercolor techniques, and basically it looks like a watercolor but it is not..... interesting!!!!!.hmmm

I am planning to mount it on canvas, once it is steam set. In that way it will be easier to handle without any glass on top. I will then coat it with a sealer to make it waterproof.......
Just trying out new stuff

Stamping on Silk

Hi Everyone

I have been experimenting different techniques on silk lately. One of them is stamping. I have always been drawn to it, the challenge is to control the dye in a manner that you don't need a resist to do it. Well, after many hits and tries I was able to work out a process with which I am satisfied.

This is the painted piece, I am happy with the results...
It is now ready to be steam set and then washed .....  Well, I would also like to finish it with some beading at both ends of the scarf.

Will post a photograph of the finished scarf soon.......
