Learning a new skill - painting on silk

A couple of weeks ago I went on a course to learn how to paint on silk. What a revelation! I absolutely loved it: the thrill of seeing those colours come together in a wonderful loose style is amazing. I was so happy I was positively skipping along the corridor inbetween the painting and drying rooms!

Once I have researched and bought some materials of my own I will be producing a tutorial or two so that I can share my new found skills.

Meanwhile, here are the framed results from my class

      Thanks Margaret, it's so exciting to plan what I will paint once I've got some materials sorted. I'm smiling about it even as I type!

    They all look lovely, but my favourite has to be the Dreams of Summer, I love the depth of this one, it almost looks 3D. Great work, can't wait to see more. Linda x
