One of my first silk paintings (my third)
I made this in 1982 at Club Med in Mexico. The technique is called French silk painting. This was the arts and crafts class. Club Med is a French company, so this makes sense. Now it is popular. When I learned to do this you could not buy the materials in the U.S. I drew it completely freehand, with a bottle of gutta percha. That is what you draw the lines with. The colors are waterbase aniline dye.
