become a fabric painter. What you require are some creative skills and sound knowledge on the
various methods of fabric paintings. The rest happens automatically.

This is all about mixing colors and applying heat in proportions. The work of a fabric
painter is like that of a chemist mixing colors and perceiving the reactions. The fun lies in
the fact that he or she should know what amount of color and heat to use in order to create
a particular form of painting. The most popular are batik painting, dyeing, shibori,
silk-screening, watercolor painting and layering.
Dyeing is one of the most common and simple forms of fabric painting. In dyeing some parts of
a fabric are tied and merged into colored dye solutions while some other parts are abstained
from dyeing. When folded in a particular shape, this helps to form a design integrating the
colored and the uncolored segments. Batik Painting made by blending wax and dye is one of the
most favored among the fabric paintings.
Having its origin in the Indonesian island of Java, batik painting mesmerizes with its
unusual tapestry, ensemble of colors and freedom of art. In Batik painting first the fabric is
waxed, then dyed and finally de-waxed. Shibori is a typical Japanese tie-dye painting that lures
with its creases, pleats, stitches, loops and colorful motifs. This type of painting is a bit
complex and involves a series of processes like stitching, folding, creasing, dyeing, pleating
and embroidering.
