Have you ever wondered how much went into the hand painted silk scarf you are wearing?

Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!!❤
Thank you for creating this silk painting tutorial. I am trying to learn some basics and I found this video very helpful. You speak very clearly, the silk scarf stayed in frame, and the shading tips you offered on the flowers helped a lot. I'm wishing you many wonderful happy painting hours.
+Kecia Rideout Hi Kecia, it is great to hear from a fellow artist. What you refer to as my "tips' is really just the style in which I paint - there is no right or wrong way. When someone orders a scarf (or any other painting) from me, they receive a DVD such as this, so they can see "the artist at work" creating their design. It makes them more appreciative of just what is required to create their "wearable art". Thank you for your kind comments.
+Barbara Gabogrecan I forgot to say that I have a series of lessons available, using text and video. If you are interested, please contact me at barbara@hbba.biz
It is a bit late for me to be responding to your comment Kecia - but thank you for your kind words.
I love that each silk artist has their own methods and style. Hello from across the ocean in the Pacific Northwest. I used to get some of my favorite dyes from ProColour in NZ but he doesn't sell them any more. Now I use Jacquard and DuPont.
Great work
This was a wonderful tutorial! I loved watching your process and the scarf is lovely!
Thank you!
I am so pleased that you enjoyed my video - do you paint on silk? And where are you? I am in Australia.
Barbara, I live in Iowa, USA and have painted on silk many years ago when I attended college at the Art Institute in Chicago. Recently retired I am eager to try my hand at fiber arts again. Much inspiration here!
I, too, went to the Art Institute of New South Wales, Australia; I then became a teacher of art for 21 years. Initially, I did not want to teach, but found secondary collages a real challenge and I developed some great relationships with students - they can be so talented! Like you, I have retired and I hope that you add silk painting to your interest in fiber arts.
And thank you for your kind words Paul.
Great art!
BEAUTIFUL. THANKS.
Thanks for viewing - pleased you liked it. Barb
Oh my goodness, that’s stunning. 😍😍😍
Great steady hand there

Hello Dear!! Your work is really amazing! I want to try silk painting with the use of gutta...but my gutta outliner is very watery..it spreads and don't act as an outliner.pls suggest what to do..
I enjoyed your Cooktown Orchid tutorial . I enjoy painting on silk and have done so for many years. I'm wondering where you get your dyes from because mine are getting very depleted. I've used salt in some of my silk painting creations and people are amazed at this process. Silk is not my only vice. I also paint in other mediums. I live in Australia.
Your website link needs to be in your video description, each time. Beautiful work .
Thanks. Will fix
I am going crasy about painting on silk, I have start to buy paint, but you use dye is it more nice . You are great and your work is magnifique.
I hope you will answer me because it's been 9 years since you posted the video? I am totally new in this technique. I have a command to paint a Bob Marley onto a dress. Before, I painted a lot on upholstering tissu for chairs, and once on a dress in synthétiques tissu. I painted in acrylics on that. Now, the dress to paint on, is silk. I can't paint on it with acrylics because the whole painting will be "stiff", like those t-shirts with a design on the front you can buy and which feel like a "plastic" layer. So I bought silk paint and gutta. My questions are : am I obliged to put the dress on a frame? If yes, will the little holes from those pins stay? Do I have to wear gloves? If I put water on certain area on the dress, will the paint stop going further at the end of the water area? The dress is black. Will the red color "pop"? Or do I have to do a layer of white first (like I do with acrylics). Can I put more layers one on top of the other? Thank you for your answers.
Do you have a complete tutorial of how you set the colors? In your technique-you do it differently from what i know, so wanted to see the start and finish of your process.
Absolutely stunning!! How do you "set" set the dye?? What kind of dye do you use??? Thank you.
I would like to know that answer too...
they iron or steam it
Vry vry vry beautiful
Thanks Robby
Loving this calipso music and the video 😅😍
I am pleased you enjoy the music too.
Witch DIY,we have to buy for the silk batik,?is the same DIY for the cotton one?
Awesome👏👏👏 i really love it❤️❤️❤️😍😍
So pleased you like my wurk.
Lovely work. I want to paint on silk using it just as a faint background to some Chinese silk embroidery art. Would the painted dry surface have any affect on being able to embroider a picture over the top? How do you fix the paint once dry?
Thanks
That is a good question ...
I would like to know the answer too.
Very nice what are using materials names please
lovely video, amazing work. What type of silk fabric do you recommend for silk hand painted scarves?
The silk I use for painting scarves is pongee. Glad you like my work.
Barbara
Excellent work and inspiring skills. Where did you get the Gutta dispenser from. Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills
Thanks Maysoon. Check the website www.silkpaintingbygabogrecan.com for a list of suppliers.
I've so enjoyed watching you work on silk and have learned more from you than any other silk artist! Can I ask about the salt technique: do you apply the salt when the paint is very wet or when it's beginning to dry? I have just started to paint on silk and the results I've had are a little disappointing. I've used coarse sea salt. Are you using inks or paints?Brilliantly clear video and most relaxing to watch - thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent!
Thank you for your kind words Althea - they are much appreciated. I am halfway through designing a silk painting course that will be sold through Udemy.....you may be interested in joining. It will cost $50 but Udemy quite often have great special prices. I am going to put a sample Lecture up on Facebook when all is completed. I use dyes and as I use a lot of water on my silk, I have to let it dry a little e.g. if painting a long scarf (as you saw here) I paint most of the background, remove any pools of water, then apply the salt.I use rock salt, but it is not in huge pieces. Hope this helps.
And thank you for your kind comments. Place the salt on when the silk is quite wet....the dryer it is, the less movement you will get. I just use course salt (as a matter of fact, I got a bag full from a salt pool - rather than a chlorine pool). Good luck!
I use dyes - NOT paint
Hi is very nice what you do congratulation. Thanks for sharing. What kind of colors do you use? I want to use colors that I can later wash because I do batik with wax but in cotton not in silk and I want to start with silk. Which colors do you recommend me? And what fixation process do you use? Thanks is beautiful.
These are silk dyes I am using. You can get them in most countries and the brands do differ. You can do batik on silk - congratulations on handling that medium - I didn't like the way that the silk always remained a little stiff. Thge dyes I use are steamed for a couple of hours to set the dyes. You can get ones that you simply iron to set them, but I do not find them satisfactory. Good luck with your quest!
In one of my tutorials I demonstrate how to set the coloured dyes by steaming. You can wash what I do - you just need to iron them dry so that they do not get wrinkles in the silk. I use any dyes that come from France - their colours seem to be more pure and bright for me. Good luck with trying silk - I admire anyone doing Batic with wax - I consider that to be very difficult.
Very beautiful jatinder kour
What beautiful work! What brand/s of dyes do you use? I'm interested in French dyes, but would love any specific recommendations you have (I really haven't enjoyed the Dupont steam fix dyes - are Tinfix any good?). I came across the Silk Road dyes, made in NSW, Australia a little while ago, and just love their vibrancy and how well they respond to any technique I use, but they've been discontinued now. Are you familliar with them? I haven't found anything to equal them yet, and am hunting for something similar! :)
I will look up the brand of dyes I use and let you know - but again, am not sure that they are still available. I remember buying a lot - someone was closing down I think. Its a shame just when you find something that works well for you - it is discontinued!. I don't like Dupont and I was not aware of Silk Pound Dyes.
Great screen work. Love to know more .What was the liquid that was put first on to the silk material?
+Nadia Kanegai-Didou The liquid is simply water! If you want to know more about silk painting, I have a series of lessons which I can make available. Contact me at barbara@hbba.biz - I am sure you would enjoy all the videos, photos and real 'help' comments!
I am halfway through designing a silk painting course that will be sold through Udemy.....you may be interested in joining. It will cost $50 but Udemy quite often have great special prices. I am going to put a sample Lecture up on Facebook when all is completed. In that course I have a section on equipment needed and where to access it.
Hi Barbara! You have beautiful works! Where did you buy reserve? Thank you

Oh and I forgot to ask. How do you remove the goitre ?
You said at the end that you wash and iron the scarf to finish it, is the silk paint you use sealed by heat or stem before you do this?
+Sue Brown Sorry I was not clearer. The scarf is painted with dyes (not paint) and the colour is set by steaming for around 2 hours.
I use dyes (rather than paint) and yes - the painted silk is steamed to set the colours then washed and ironed dry.
She's using "liquid rubber?" I've read that certain types of fabric paint are just silicone based adhesive plus pigment.Personally I like to paint on white fabric with just half acrylic paint and half water.That combo works great on white cotton.
adrienne gellman how do you set it. i use to use fabric for my paintings.
I don't actually use paint, but use dyes. The gutta is not actually made from rubber - it just seems like rubber.
By steaming.
I'm in New Zealand. Please tell me where you buy your large bottles of gutta. Thank you.
I get my silk from "Beautiful Silks" (Australia) and my dyes gutta etc. from "Silk Wholesalers" (they are wholesalers and exporters from Australia - the quality is excellent). If you are after clear gutta - I can let you have some in large bottles at a very low price - contact me on barbara@hbba.biz.

Thank you so mush.
I use wax but the colour mix each other what should I do ?
I am really not sure what the question is. If you are saying that the coloured dyes you are using mix together - well, that is what silk painting is about - it is up to you to learn how to control the colours so that they do not mix all together and create a colour that you do not want. Using wax or gutta will not make a difference. The only thing I can suggest is that you join my classes where I teach step by step how to achieve the technique. Good luck.
Thank you so much for your answer and kind attention....
You're welcome.
what type of black paint was used to outline the flowers that was also used as a resist?
The black is call gutta. It is not paint but a spirit based liquid rubber that penetrates the silk to provide a resist when it dries.
The black outline work is black gutta - not paint or dyes.
Gutta is not actually rubber, but it seems similar to rubber.
@@pjoconnor1947 Barbara - when you wash the scarf doesn't the gutta also wash off? If so, how do you keep the lovely black outline?
Where I can found one screen like yoursThank you
I am sorry Maria - but I made my own
Sorry - my husbamd made the screen for me - they are not for sale! Have a close look at one when you can and see if you can copy it - the main things are to have a slot for the cross screen to move up and down and to be able to tighten the scrrns - so you need two screens, one beside the other.
VERY GOOD....
Help when I use the gutta to I have to take to the dry cleaners or steam I'm lost
+Freddog napo It is confusing. There are two types of Gutta - water based or solvent. I am using the solvent...if you dry clean the silk, the solvent gutta will disappear and you will be left with the white line of the silk. It needs to be set by steaming for around 2 hours. I have a series of lessons for beginners - if you are interested contact me at barbara@hbba.biz
Adorei ,Muito bonito ! Anita Ferro Recife-PE.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
I love your Beautiful Art...
and I love the music... but it
is a little too loud, and it made
it hard to hear you...
... but I love the video.. ;)
Sorry to hear that you had difficulty hearing me through the music - we did turn it down considerably when I was talking - but it definitely was a bit loud when I was not talking!
Thank you for letting me know Judi.
Lovely work! What dyes do you use ?
Vera, I use a mixture of brands, as long as they are French - they seem to give the most pure and most subtle colours. I feel that many others are pretty 'raw' in colour.
does it have to be rock salt?
Table salt will work...
it is just smaller...
No, but it works best.
which dyes are used for silk. are normal that v use for dyeing dupattas
You need to use dyes that are designed specifically for silk. There are some different brands and as I am in Australia, I do not think ours would be in your country. Go online and search for silk dyes - that should help. I prefer to use French dyes as the colours are not so raw.
Barbara Gabogrecan
Any dyes that come from France are the best to use.
@@pjoconnor1947
... Yes they are... and expensive too!! LOL
Slt il nous faut la traduction merci.
Anti supar
Interesting but the loud music is sooo distracting.
Music too loud. Calypso is nice but when too loud.
Thanks for the feedback Morgan. I will look at adjusting the volume.
Very high annoying disturbing music !!preventing enjoying this beautiful art
Why the salt?. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
If you watch my videos, I explain and show you the fantastic patterns created by the salt dragging colours towards it.You should try it - it works best with darker colours and blue.
The salt gives the textured pattern and makes it's own design as it goes.
