Silk painting

I've been painting on silk for close to 2 years now. It seems to agree with me and it is a neat art project to do with older students. Last year I ran an art club with grade 5 and 6 students and their silk paintings were beautiful. This year I have bought squares instead of rounds and we will do silk painting. I'm also hoping to do a chalk pastel project inspired by artist Jennifer Main.

I have found an American supplier that has excellent prices- the Dharma Trading Company for all the supplies for silk painting.

I have had fun painting scarves but I really like painting the smaller rounds and squares.
These are some recent pieces I've done.
