CREATING FINE ART ON SILK : JEAN-BAPTISTE : ORCA

This video depicts how Master Silk Artist Daniel Jean-Baptiste creates unique art on silk. This one is of a killer whale in the cold waters off the British Columbia coast. Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of colour and light by painting wet-on-wet method in which liquid paints are delicately applied using small Sumi bamboo sheep hair brushes. The silk is positioned flat while suspended in a stretcher so that the wet colours can bleed freely
