I had an idea of putting paintings on to fabric.
Began with fabric paints a long time ago and the French Art Shop used to sell fabric paints. One day they stopped selling them and told me to use acrylic paint and add fixative to the acrylic paints, Then wait for it to dry.
Then put a clean T towel and iron it to set the colours in. Then I just wash the clothing as normal and have no trouble with it.
My painting of a Viking Ship,
Beautiful picture, dear Pamela
Thanks so much Lado, glad you like it
With great pleasure, dear Pamela
Very interesting idea for painting. This is something special.
Thanks Vidocka, glad you like the painting…
Nicely done as always.
Thanks Carol for your kind comments.
I always love how you deal with waves and water!
Lovely!
To be honest with you Alibb, I am a beginner when painting or drawing the sea.
I don’t know much about it at all, but I use pictures of water.
In future I will be using my own photos on water.
Thanks for the comment..
Really? But you did them so well!!
I can’t wait to see you paint more of such nature-related paintings …
but of course you do as well with other types pf themes!
Thanks so much Alibb, when I get the chance I certainly will
Beautiful ship indeed , thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Witty Feeds, glad you like it.
i really love your longship! nicely done!
Thanks Doc, glad you like the longship..Very much appreciate your comments.
the fabric also brings the sky and clouds to life. Awesome painting.
Thanks so much Doc, pleased you like it.
A stunning painting of a Viking ship along with crew. One question: what kind of fabric do you use?
Thanks HistoryGal, I don’t use an expensive fabric, just like calico but I also use T Shirt material. I use just about any plain fabric material. Except Silk
Painting and stitching is not my line. You are good at it.
I am no expert at sewing although I tried to make a dress out of calico before I painted it.
Then I did not realise the fabric shrinks when you paint it!
Thanks Grace.
Beautiful fabric painting, thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Hina, glad you like it.
Nice painting you have there. It’s not easy to paint on fabric.
Thanks Alex, I have tried just to paint on it as I would a canvas..
I like this wonderful technique of your works.
Thanks so much Elenka, glad you like my technique..
