I want to show you how in 6 steps to paint neckerchief out of silk in the cold batik technique. Simple, creative and clear.

Step 1

Take a piece of white silk and stretch it on the frame:

Step 2

Transfer the outline of your sketch on the tracing paper with a black marker.

Step 3

Pin the sketch under the silk and place a lamp under the frame to see the contours clearly. Take the tube with the reserve and begin to outline the contour of the image.

Step 4

The painting begins. Take brushes and create the main colours. Start to paint the background.

Step 5

The most beautiful part of the work — the flowers and leaves:

Very carefully, not going over the edge of the reserve!

Step 6

Coming to an end. Draw the plastic of flowers and leaves with a special stick and a semi-dry cotton with the paint. Feel each flower and add graphics, veins and shades.

Here's a beautiful shawl! I called it Tenderness. I hope you also like batik printing. If you have questions, ask. I will help you to deal with all your questions.
