Did you know you can turn Sumi ink into fabric paint by adding a fabric medium? This video below shows the process of transforming white fabric into a beautiful, one-of-a-kind design. The bold hand-painted fabric is washable and can be used in clothing, home decor, and crafts! Supplies
Instructions1. Wash, dry, and iron the fabric. 2. Cut a piece of adhesive Contact paper the size of the area you will be painting, and apply it to the back of the fabric to create a barrier, and smooth out the fabric. 3. Pour the Sumi ink in a dish, and add several drops of the GAC 900. 4. Paint directly onto the fabric with the Sumi ink, and let dry. 5. Mix the gold acrylic paint with the GAC900 until the consistency is thin enough for painting. 6. Make brush strokes over the dried Sumi ink, and let dry. 7. Heat set with an iron using parchment paper to protect the iron. Watch the Video! There are so many options and price points for watercolor supplies, and it can be overwhelming! So, here is a list of basic watercolor supplies (including links to purchase) that aren't expensive but will give you the best watercolor experience!
Art journaling is a safe place to practice making marks, explore imagery, and express thoughts and feelings. An art journal is an opportunity to let go of perfectionism and to play with color, line, and composition to record a memory or an emotion. An art journal is a companion where you get to choose its purpose. When you create in your art journal, do it with an open mind and a sense of play. Go ahead and allow yourself to make not-so-great drawings, muddy colors, and wrinkly pages. Just enjoy the process. It's good for you!
