For painting on silk, you will need water soluble crayons, a piece of silk, and a brush. Begin by drawing your design on the silk with the water soluble crayons. You can be as creative as you like, and use any colors you like. Once you have finished your design, wet the brush and paint over the crayons. The colors will bleed and blend together, creating a beautiful watercolor effect. You can also add details with a dry brush, or by spraying the silk with water and letting the colors run. To create a more realistic effect, try sanding the edges of the silk after you have painted it. This will create a soft, blurred edge that looks like a real painting. You can also experiment with different techniques, such as using acrylic paint, or by adding texture with a brush. Woodwork can also be a great way to add interest to your painting. Just be sure to seal the wood before you paint on it, so that the paint doesn’t peel off.
