Silk Painting provides an introduction to the colorful and exciting world of this popular art. With a few basic materials, paints in the three primary colors and black, a brush, gutta, an embroidery frame, and a piece of silk, Jenni Milne shows you how to create a wide variety of projects. Some of these give basic instructions and are ideal for the beginner; others combine techniques for the more adventurous. All of them will encourage the reader to make colorful hand-painted works of art. Silk Painting is lavishly illustrated throughout with full-color photographs, and will provide an inspiration to students, amateurs, and established artists on silk.

This is an excellent introduction to the sumptuous art of painting on silk. Milne piques the student's interest with a brief history of the Silk Road and the production of silk, then covers basic materials and color theory. Irises, dolphins, and abstract designs materialize with the help of spirit- and water-based resists, salt, batik wax, and other media. The book is comparable to Vibeke Born's Silk Painting (LJ 11/15/97) and is aimed at the same skill level, but it has the important advantage of carrying a sturdy spiral binding. Recommended.
