- Silk painting is such a beautiful medium with lots of different styles and techniques. In this video, I share my four favorite silk painting techniques. Using the marker resit method, I demonstrate how to create texture using wet on wet, wet on dry, salt, and layered lines.
If you are interested in learning more silk painting techniques, check out my website at www.rootedexpressions.com, I have multiple online courses available!
Oh, this is stunning. Thank you so much!!!
Just beautiful!
Wow! These are great examples! Thank you!!
looks like so much fun!
This is a great video! Thank you for inspiring me!
Beautiful techniques! Thanks for the info! Marker as a resist sounds interesting!
I also like using multiple techniques within a painting for a variety of textures, or just using one style for a whole scarf or tie, where you just want a pattern in specific colors. I like the way you did the squares to show each method. Happy silk painting!
Nice technique s🎉❤
So cool thanks a bunch!
So glad you enjoyed!
Too good
lovelyyyyyy
Perfect
It's good 😊
You haven’t described your set up. Are you laying your silk directly on top of paper towel? What grade of silk? Are you using silk paints? How have you masked off the squares?
I would like to know that too. Also, did the salt dissolve or did you brush it off? You said you were going to come back to it but you didn't. Thanbks
Also, do you spray the silk with water first or is it dry?
I’m using 8mm silk. I stretched it in freezer paper and use my Marker Resist technique to hold the dye. For this video I am using Jacquard green label silk dyes. I have an online class on my website site that teaches all of this and more.
I brushed salt off after it was dry and the silk was not wet. I only added water to what you saw in the video. Great questions! 😊
Thanks for this video ! I am dying to learn silk painting ! Unfortunately having a bit trouble finding dyes and gutta tho !
Hi Lynn, send me an email at rootedexpressions@gmail.com and let me know where you are located. I have lots of links for places to purchase supplies, many include international shipping if you are located outside of the US. Hope to hear from you!
@@rootedexpressionsstudio Do you mind if I email you as well?
Thank u
If this were a large scale, say for 3.5 yards. Would you stretch this without anything under, also is this steam fix?
These are Jacquard Green Label Silk Dyes, so yes, they are steam set.
For a large yardage you can either mount it or stretch it and get the same results.
So on the wet on dry I can add to a dry scarf with just water? Before u set the piece? I really love the idea of texture?
Yes, this is one of my favorite ways you can add textures and shadowing.
Thanks for the really great vid! What are you using behind the silk? Some kind of backing? x
I mounted the silk on freezer paper.
@@rootedexpressionsstudio ah I see. thank you :)
Well, I have to say I've never heard of a marker resist. I now paint on silk with no barriers. To me it's exactly like watercolor. I'm assuming you're using Jacquard Red Label or Green Label Dyes? What markers do you use? On your video you have a pet dish with 'W' for water(?) and 'C' for what? Your marker idea is very interesting. I hope you do very well with the classes and get many happy students! 😃
I am using the green label dyes, in my fine art I use the red label. When teaching and not steaming, I will use Dye-na-flow. I use permanent markers, some brands work better than others so you have to play with what you have available.
As for the pet dish--LOL--thanks for noticing! I love using the pet bowls because they will not tip over! The "C" is for cool and the "W" is for warm. If you rinse your cool colors in one and warm in the other, the water will not muddy and I don't have to change it often. I will also use one for clean water and one for rinsing the brush, much like watercolor artists do.

Ohhhh, okay. That's neat! The other idea I had about the doggie bowl water is I thought maybe it was to rinse your colors - 'W' for warm colors and 'C' for cool colors, lol!
Well, as for the watercolor way of doing things, you're absolutely right! I have no fewer than 5 rinsing "pots" because I can't stand dirty water. I started out as a watercolorist, but I found a video in late 2013 and was drawn to silk like a moth to a flame! The video is showing silk painting by Woodsilks.
I used to use Jacquard Red Label, but, when I started doing portraits I needed more colors, so I switched to DuPont Silk Dyes.
I use Dye-Na-Flow for my silk ties only. Daniel Jean-Baptiste uses the Dye-Na-Flow and a gutta, I believe, to paint on his silks.
I'm just like you in that I hated gutta. I didn't like the lines that gutta and resists leave so I don't use them. I do use Jacquard's water-based metallic resists, but only to sign my name at the bottom of the canvases. Some of the Jacquard cans have the label "water-based gutta resist", lol! As if they couldn't make up their minds what to call it then, decided to double down on it, they named it both!! 😄
A quick question about using the marker resist. Does the marker color not interfere with the dye color? I'm sure when applied that the marker color shows on the silk like it did in this video (the marker color around each frame of silk textures). What do you do about that? I hope I'm not asking you to reveal more than you are wanting to reveal? Especially to a non-paying customer?
Have you found a lot of interest in silk painting? I wish I could see more of your work. I wish I could watch you go through a full painting! I am so curious to see how you deal with it all!
Have you found that many people are interested in silk painting on TH-cam?
@@denisestover2416 You can use any color marker, sometimes I will match it to the color of the dye, other times I will use a neutral color like black or gray. I have been doing silk painting for 16 years. I have used a lot of different methods, I mostly use my marker technique on scarves and the sizing technique on my fine art silks. You can see more of my work on my website under the About tab, I have a portfolio. You can see the difference between the marker technique and the sizing technique there.

Beautiful work! Some of your flowers are gorgeous! I love your birds! They remind me of some of Suzanne Punch's color work. So beautiful!
Isn't Karen great! She's a dear friend and mentor to me, as well!
I wish you all the best with your teaching ventures! God Bless 😃
Can you tell me fabric material and colour brand. I need ti buy it. As well can u send me a link to buy it
Lindas técnicas 💕 a tinta é fixada a vapor? Ou é a ferro quente de passar roupa? Beijos aqui do Pará Brasil para vc 🥰🥰💕💕
Hello all the way from Brazil! 🤓The dyes are steam fix. The silk paints set with an iron do not create the same techniques as the steam fix.
Thank you for this? Question on a large scarf do u use a bowl and dip the silk? Do u use very large brushes or just dip?
I never dip. I paint my scarves just as you see in the video.
Which colors u r using?
Can l use any other fabric too like other than silk..cotton or satin organza etc
For other types of silk, absolutely - however the reaction may look a little different. As for cotton, I am not sure. I only work with silk, but you could experiment on some cotton scraps to see if it works. Please share your results if you do!
Nice idea. Anybody knew what to use for precise painting on silk?
No, she wants you to sign up for an online course.
Can you please add a list of set up stuff including what steamer you recommend to the Description?😁👍
I have a blog post that goes over all of my supplies www.rootedexpressions.com/silk-supplies/blog-post-title-one-ync7h-l6b3w

What did you use for the resist?
She used melted beeswax. She mentions in the very first part of the video, and explains her process.
What os the difference between silk paint and normal basick fabric colour paint
one is fabric dye, the other is fabric paint. Dye actually penetrates the fiber and paint just sits on the fiber. In my opinion, paint can sometimes make the silk feel stiff.
Where do I find your tutorial? 🙏
www.rootedexpressions.com/silk-painting-101
Which colours are these?
I used Jacquard Red Label Dyes in Apricot, Magenta, Cyan, and Kelly Green.
Cool methods! Do you use 5 momme silk fabric? And do you use some viniger before the dye ? Thank you 😊😊
I use 8mm for wearable art and 16mm for fine art. I have never used vinegar in any of my silk projects. I know some people include it as a part of the process, but for the dyes and processes I use, it is not necessary. Hope that helps! 🙂
@@rootedexpressionsstudio wow! Thank you so much for the information 🙂🙂
Scrolling to see of someone asked, but dont see it. Forgive me if this is a repeat. The salt disolves, right. But does it change the silky feel. or flow of the fabric?
The salt doesn't fully dissolve, you just brush it off when it has dried. When the dye/paint is set then any remaining salt will wash out when you wash the silk.
Can you please tell when you did wet on dry after a green wash ! Was the silk fully dry or it was wet or damp?
The green was fully dry when I put the wet dye on.
@@rootedexpressionsstudio when i fully dry the fabric and then pour drops of clean water .. nothing happened . Why ?
@@ramshailyas4512 Are you using silk PAINT or silk DYE? I use silk dye, so it will reactivate anytime I get it wet until I set the dye by steaming. Silk paints are typically an acrylic paint, so they will not react the same once they are dry. This might be the reason.
@@rootedexpressionsstudio oh i seee yes i use silk paints . Thank you.. and last question .. which fabric are you using ?
@@rootedexpressionsstudio i will catch you on instagram and show what i created
Do u use special brushes?
Not here. Just watercolor brushes.
what dye are you using?
Hi Madeline, I am using Jacquard Green Label Silk Dyes.
Jacquard Green Label Silk Dye
How do you set the ink?
Hi Eva, it is silk dye so it has to be steam set, I have a silk steamer that I use to set the dye. There are other silk paints that are heat set so you do not have to use a steamer, like Dye-na-Flow.
Hi Eva, I am using silk dyes, not an ink. The silk dyes are steam set so I use a stovetop silk steamer from Dharma Trading Company to set the dyes. There are silk paints such as Dye-Na-Flow that you can use where you set the dyes by using a hot iron. You can also use alcohol ink on silk but I do not have the background knowledge on how to set it.
Don’t understand, what medium of colors are you using???
Is it just inks? What kind of inks?? What are their names???
And what is their base??? Water? Alcohol? What kind of inks please
Hello. I am using Jacquard Green Label Silk Dye that is specific to silk fiber and are steam set. There are 20 different colors to choose from. You can find more information on the dyes and their base if you search them.
Thank you soooo much for this little education video I am having so much fun now with wetinwet and combining colours on Silk. ❤❤❤
