BATIK SILK PAINTING WITH JEAN-BAPTISTE - FINE ART - KOI & LOTUS

This video depicts how Master Silk Artist Daniel Jean-Baptiste creates unique art on silk. This one is of koi and lotus flowers.
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 on the fabric. The finished piece is water resistant and lightfast, ready for framing behind glass.
Jean-Baptiste uses tropical nature as his inspiration and silk as his Canvas.

[@harrietblank6812]

I absolutely love your work. I learned silk painting in my Senior Center class. We only have the silk dyes, not paints. I think the paints give you more control over the design. Do you have to "set" the paints by steaming?? What method do you use?? I thank you soooo much for your help and these videos. I emailed them to my teacher. You are a true artist!!!!

[@DanielJeanBaptiste]

Thanks, I use Setasilk paints which cure upon drying.

[@anilautomobiles3613]

Beautiful JB.. is der any sketch if dis on ur site or KZbin??

[@carolewilliams6177]

What resist do you use please

[@DanielJeanBaptiste]

This is what I use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX27gaSEaJxoe5o

[@pouponcrazycat5987]

How do you make the color Pink, its awesome.

[@DanielJeanBaptiste]

It comes in a concentrate form in the Pebeo brand called Setasilk, the colour is called Framboise.

[@pouponcrazycat5987]

two more questions, please. When you wet the silk do you use distilled water or alcohol? I see that you wet the silk for the intense color disperse. please reply thank you...2nd question do you steam your silk in order to wear it as a scarf or a blouse or mens shirt? thanks hugs ... blessings to you jean

[@DanielJeanBaptiste]

I work with silk paints which cure upon drying and are not to be steamed. The solution that I wet the silk with is diluent and water. My finished work is only for framed art display and not for apparel use.

[@jackienash2991]

Is there a difference between silk dye and silk paint?

[@DanielJeanBaptiste]

Here is an article discussing this very topic. www.dharmatrading.com/info/silk-painting-dyes-vs-paints.html

[@DanielJeanBaptiste]

I work with two brands of silk paints, Setasilk and G&S silk colours.

[@sylysyly9759]

Daniel Jean-Baptiste thank you for answering what paints you use....do you get them from G&S Dyes in Toronto?? I'm not 100% sure which ones to order...could you please describe the exact ones for me ...how do you set the paint to keep them those coulours??? Do you do classes???? Your silk scarves are so Beautiful!! Lovely relaxing music !

[@faiqanoor341]

[@pouponcrazycat5987]

[@DanielJeanBaptiste]
