Three Goofy Geese Original Silk Painting and Limited Edition Prints

I do love the challenge of reflection work on silk and these three Canada geese clearly have no idea where they are going making my job harder with all that foreshortening. Hope you like the result. These little geese were painted in 2014. I decided to create a silk painting a day for the Twelve days of Christmas.

My paintings are mainly painted on pure Chinese habotai 8 silk with specialist silk paints. I start each work with a drawing on paper and then trace the image onto a piece of white silk stretched onto a wooden frame. I then apply a special paint called gutta, which contains natural latex called gutta-percha, over my traced lines. This creates a resistive barrier through which the coloured ink will not flow. I apply the coloured ink with a brush and use salt dropped into the ink whilst wet to created textured effects.

The finished painting is removed from the wooden frame, ironed to fix the colour in the fabric and stretched onto acid-free mountboard ready for framing.
