Procedure :
-
Rinse the cloth to remove its
starch.
-
Iron the cloth in order to make it wrinkle
free.
-
Using a white tracing paper, trace the design onto
the cloth.
-
Fix the frame around the design on the
cloth.
-
Always paint the complete design with white
colour as a base before using other colours, to give a better finish to
the design.
-
Now choose your colours and paint the
design. Always paint the lighter shades first then the darker ones.
-
Let it dry for 24hrs.
-
For the painting to last longer, iron the
back side of the design. The ironing should be done only after 24 hrs.
Here we have painted on a white cloth and used
the colours white (For Base), orange, green and yellow. After painting
the white base, start painting with other colours while it is still
wet. If the base is completely dry wet the design slightly with a
brush dipped in water. Mix orange paint and white paint together to get a
Light orange shade for the petals.
Brushes are available in different numbers
depending on the thickness of the bristles. You can use thin brushes in
narrow spaces and thicker brushes on broader areas at your discretion.
Ordinary fabric paints can be mixed with water
but metallic fabric colours have to be mixed with a medium. Medium can be
bought from shops. The consistency of the mixed paints should not be too
watery. |
