Faces painted on fabric with Inktense blocks and pencils. It's quite difficult to paint on fabric because if the paint is quite wet, it spreads and if it's too dry it doesn't cover. The first picture is my mum from a few years ago. The others are random faces I found on the net.

ReplyDeleteI like your portraits! I love the ostrich! I was delighted to re-visit Visby!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it is hard to draw and colour on fabric. Apart from the problems you mentioned, there is the trouble of not having the fabric stretched tight enough. In Japan, when kimono silk is painted (by hand), the long and narrow stretch of cloth (usually 11.5 m x 36 cm) is stretched along a long room, obviously longer than 11.5 m! like a hammock and the width is stretched with many thin bars of bamboo. As the fabric is suspended in mid-air, there is no problem with a tabletop making the wet paint leak into the wrong areas. Also, rice glue is painted on, similar to wax in batik making, to stop the bleeding of colours.
