Product Description

Product Description
This work provides a complete course in an increasingly popular medium. Originating in Russia and migrating to America in the 1960s, the gutta resist method gave artists a new way to draw and paint on fabric using brilliant colour and without destroying the natural drape of the cloth (resists used prior to the gutta method stiffened the fabric). Following a short history of this revolutionary method, the artist covers the essentials of the silk painting art including the materials required (dyes, silks, applicators and brushes) and the basic palette of fabric dyes. Then, through a series of step-by-step lessons, she demonstrates the procedures of the gutta method. Beginning with how to draw and design using gutta, Moyer describes the direct method, the salt crystal method, the droplet method, the alcohol method and the faux batik method of application. The book concludes with methods for fixing the dyes permanently with steaming and dry cleaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moyer's two books are the best available on silk painting., 3 April 1999
By A Customer
This is Susan Moyer's first book. It covers the basics in great detail. Anyone who is serious about silk painting should memorize this book. Moyer is generally considered to be the the best English-language author on silk painting.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first step in successful silk painting!, 15 Oct 2007
By A. Chizlett (Dorset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is trully inspiring, the author suggests reading all the way through the book first before starting a silk painting esp if you are a novice, which i found to be good advice and was not difficult as it was excellent, she gives detailed descriptions on various techniques that will give you confidence and encourages you to experiment and adapt them to your own practice, with a number of examples by talented silk painters.
I will be starting my own first silk painting after reading this shortly, and with all I know now I am sure I will have alot of fun doing so.
