Painting on silk, in its millennia-old traditional form and also in
contemporary form, has become increasingly popular. With this
guide, be inspired by the nearly 500 images, the visual demos, and
the aspects not covered in other books. Starting with the basic
skills and techniques, here is guidance on every element of the
art, including setting up your studio space, painting on
preconstructed clothing, and framing your art. Most importantly,
enjoy learning unusual, innovative frames of mind to intensify your
creative freedom, bringing new energy to your work. A special
chapter, "Color: The Workshop Experience," offers exercises for
harnessing the variety of silk dye hues. Complex layered looks,
plein air painting and landscapes, critiquing, seeking
authenticity, intuitive improvisation, and much more are included.
The authors, founders of Silk Painters International, give thorough
guidance on how to push yourself out of your comfort zone to evoke
emotions in your art.
Diane Tuckman and Cecile Spiegel fled religious persecution with
WWII conflicts at their heels. Separately, from Egypt and from
Germany, each leaped continents, cultures, and languages as a
refugee before finding a new home in the United States. Hiding in
plain sight in France, Cecile eluded capture by the Nazis, but lost
many dear to her. Diane came of age there, far from the
Mediterranean idyll of her childhood in Egypt. They relied on
family, faith, and resilience to overcome the otherness felt by
displaced peoples. As they dictated their memoirs to one another,
Diane and Cecile discovered the anatomy of their friendship in
their parallel odysseys and the optimism of 20th-century American
womanhood.
