CREATING FINE ART ON SILK JEAN BAPTISTE TRIGGERFISH

This video depicts how Master Silk Artist Daniel JeanBaptiste creates unique art on silk. This one is of a school of triggerfish in the clear shallows of the Caribbean Sea. Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of colour and light by painting wetonwet method in which liquid paints are delicately applied using small Sumi bamboo sheep hair brushes. The silk is positioned flat while suspended in a stretcher so that the wet colours can bleed freel
