What is silk painting?

Silk paintings originated from India in the 2nd CenturyA.D. It has become a popular hobby in textiles. You get silk and you draw your pattern with gutta resist. When you paint your colours in the pattern, the gutta will prevent it from escaping the drawing. You get dye and paints and colour in the drawing. The colours will spread in the space but not beyond the gutta. Silk paintings are made for joyous celebrations of both art and wealth. Some people believe that silk painting creates a charming sense of mystique. Silk paintings can be put onto cards, pillows, furniture, clothes and art quilts. However, they are made, purely for fine art and decoration. Silk paintings can be elaborate or simple :)
