Care for the color mixture
The fresh color is another attractive part of the silk painting . It is also a hard work to avoid the different color mixed together or some even just bleeding. How to avoid it?
When using decorative acrylic resists (Sennelier Gold, Silver, Black and H.Dupont Resist in a Tube), allow it to dry naturally. To create a more effective resist, BEFORE PAINTING, heat set the resist with an iron by pressing between presses cloths to set the acrylic resist into the fabric of your great Chinese painting tradition .
Be careful when you use a lot of black dye next to yellow and colors which contain a concentration of yellow. Due to the different strike time of the two colors, the black may bleed into the yellow during the steaming process
A colorful Japanese silk painting should be in varying colors, not in mixed colors.
