Silk Painting: New Ideas and Textures

I bought this book as I am currently doing a creative textile course at my local adult education college, and I am not disappointed. The various techniques are great, I have only used the basic ones so far, but just looking through the book itself awakens your creative brain to so many ways you yourself can create your own individual textile finishes as well as replicating the ones in the book. My tutor has the same book and has completed many more samples from the book, for us to view/create in class, and they do really come out just as in the book. She used the exact same technique and colours for 'Flower Fantasy' and it is brilliant, so alike it could be a photograph too. I can't wait to practice more at home and am looking forward to creating some great personal items as well as pictures etc. Well worth the money paid and in great condition for a used book.

Good techniques and well written. Time tested, and more information has been collected or the products have changed over time, but this should be a go-to source for someone who wants to understand how to manipulate silk and get great results.

All as described, good book

Good information and lots of suggestions.

Inspiring with very good practical information. Good instructions.

This a wonderful book for silk painters,whether beginners or old timers.You will find so many projects, colors, concepts, and techinques,which are very easy to follow,and conceptualize.I read the book and applied some of the concepts,and created my own as well.I just loved this book.

Good book to learn by/

Nice

I have been silk painting for a little while now and have been searching for a book of techniques. A lot of books have projects you can do. I am less interested in this sort of thing and wanted to learn new techniques and tricks etc. This book is exactly that. The best one I have come across. I have been so impressed that I have bought it for a few friends who are arty too. I would Highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in or wanting to get into Silk Painting.

The book is the best I've come across for starting or continuing silk painting. Lots of ideas for different techniques. This hardback edition was cheaper than the paperbacks? It's more enjoyable using the hardback.

I liked the good condition of this second hand book and the price was really good. The book is very informative with clear instructions, illustrations and pictures.

Inspiring me to get painting again.

thank you.
