CREATING FINE ART ON SILK - JEAN-BAPTISTE SCARLET MACAW

This video depicts how Master Silk Artist Daniel Jean-Baptiste creates unique art on silk. This one is of a scarlet macaw peeking from it’s hiding place in an orange tree. 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 freel
