I am interested in doing a type of fabric painting, but I'm not even sure what it's called (that makes it difficult to find info LOL) the best way I can describe it is that it looks like watercolor paintings, but it's on fabric. The paint or maybe a dye is used, is very thin, like watercolor paints. Maybe it's similar to tie dye, but you use a brush paint your design. Anybody have any ideas on what this is called and what materials I need to get started?
Thank you for your post to our Fabric Painting Forum.
The technique name you are looking for is Watercolor Fabric Painting or more commonly called a "wash" technique. It is accomplished with smooth, non-latex, dilute-able fabric paints that are high-quality. Cameo paints are high-tech, acrylic fabric paints that dilute with water beautifully.
See CameoPaints.com for more product info.
Also see the thread here on silk base color application.
Happy Fabric Painting & Crafting,
