Beautiful. I found some peel and stick wallpaper that took me down the rabbit hole of Chinoiserie. I love it and adore your work. I was looking for some images that I could copy or use as inspiration. Even went downtown to The Peacock Room at the Smithsonian in DC. What patience and skill it takes to paint like that!

Thank you so much for sharing your techniques! I know it takes time and can be daunting to do tutorials, so it is much appreciated. I love that you explain your thoughts and when something doesn’t go to plan (like the pigeon’s head) you showed how you changed it into a result you liked. I have been using Chinese watercolor paints in the gongbi style on cicada wing paper and have a difficult time getting the same color dynamics, even with many many layers. I would love to try the gouache paints and your silk papers. I am curious - are your silk papers already paper-backed or do they need to be mounted once the painting is complete?

@dianehilldesign 10 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me feedback, the silk paper is already paper backed :) I often give it a quick iron after I finish a painting and leave weighed down in between books for a super smooth finish!

@Caroline_Stocks 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for a great tutorial! For anyone thinking of painting along, I recommend watching the whole thing first as there's a section where Diane redoes some of the feather work - I'd diligently followed her previous steps so did want to cry a little bit at that point 😂 Looking forward to the full course and tips on mixing the right consistency of paint as I've definitely not nailed it yet!

Hi Caroline, Oh no I am so sorry!! I will bare this in mind for future videos, feedback like this is super helpful. Please share your bird painting with me, I would love to see the result :)

@gnarbeljo8980 9 ай бұрын

Your work is truly one of a kind, just stunning! May I ask, how are larger wallpanels treated after the painting is finished, to make it more durable (as wallcovering) and not water-soluble? I imagine only guache on silk would be incredibly sensitive?

@dianehilldesign 6 ай бұрын

Thank you!! I worked at one of the worlds leading silk wallpaper studios and we did not seal or varnish panels unless specifically requested for a high moisture area like a bathroom, or for an events space with very high traffic. Varnish can change the beautiful soft sheen of the silk, and cannot be brushed on. If someone caused damage to a silk wallpaper, I would visit and touch up with more painting, or we would ship them cut out butterflies to apply on top of marks.
