Children: Silk “Vitrage” (10:00 - 13:00), 490 CZK

Painting on silk is a several centuries old technique that comes from Asia. Come and try this technique at our art studio. In the course Painting on silk or Silk vitrage, we will learn the basic principals of painting on silk. We can paint on a silk scarf - which is available in different sizes, or a silk circle stretched on a metal frame - 20 or 30 cm average.

We will show you the technique of painting on dry silk – contour painting and then fill it with color, and painting on wet silk – using watercolor. We will try batik and effects that may be created in the colors while using salt. We will paint with brushes, sponge... try the technique imprinting, learn to combine colors and take steps to the final image.

Each child will receive a silk scarf or one wheel of their choice. The lesson doesn’t require any special artistic talent, for inexperienced painters have prepared a book with templates where they can look for inspiration.
