Introduction to Silk Painting: Create Unique Pieces

“That's the end of the course! Thank you for following it. I hope that this learning will be useful to you and that you will enjoy carrying out your final project. I leave you below the main steps to follow to complete it. This can be the project that you have already started with the exercises or you can do a new one! In any case, take care to document the different stages of your creation and add a brief explanation of what you did in each of them as well as your choices. Mood board and sketch Make your inspiration panel with images and objects you love. Make a drawing out of it and, on a sheet of paper, draw it in black on a white background to the correct size of your silk.

Felt and gutta Once the silk is mounted on your frame, slide the design underneath and transfer it with the erasable felt. Then iron your line on silk with gutta and let dry.

I invite you to post your creation on the forum for this course, to discuss and interact with the Domestika community. I will come by regularly to comment on your work and talk to you. I hope you enjoyed taking this course as much as I enjoyed giving it. See you soon !”

Sokina Guillemot has always been fascinated by fabrics, from the ones her mother brought back from her travels to the materials she turns into curtains, scarves, or cuddly toys. She likes to convert them into works of art in a style that's as whimsical and colorful as it is graphic and flowery. When she paints, she reconnects with the childish joy of creating and gives free rein to her desires.

Sokina has collaborated with the Musée d'Art Moderne du Luxembourg and the Musée de l'Immigration in Paris, as well as with brands such as Des Petits Hauts and Caselio. She has also published a book with Hachette, L’atelier de peinture sur soie : techniques et créations.
