This video depicts how Master Silk Artist Daniel Jean-Baptiste creates unique art on silk. This one is of a ruby throated hummingbird and a yellow hibiscus flower. Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of colour and light by painting wet-on-wet method in which liquid paints are delicately applied using small Sumi bamboo sheep hair brushes. The silk is positioned flat while suspended in a stretcher so that the wet colours can bleed freely on the fabric. The finished piece is water resistant and lightfast, ready for framing behind glass. Jean-Baptiste uses tropical nature as his inspiration and silk as his Canvas. Jean-Baptiste uses tropical nature as his inspiration and silk as his Canvas.
