Yes, it's recommended to wash silk before painting on it to remove any sizing, dirt, or oils that may be present. Washing helps the paint adhere better and ensures more vibrant colors. Use a gentle detergent and avoid fabric softeners to maintain the silk's texture. After washing, let it dry completely before starting your painting.
