Tip: How to add Watercolor Paint to Fabric for Slow Stitching
Рет қаралды 22,872
Күн бұрынA step-by-step demonstration on how to use Watercolor Paint on Fabric to create unique designs. The results are beautiful, colourful and perfect for using in Slow Stitching. All you need are a small set of watercolor paints, brushes, some plain white fabric, wax paper, water and an iron. This project is perfect for recycling or repurposing clothing or bed sheets too. Relax, paint along and be inspired to create your own fabric swatches!
In the next episode I will use the fabric painted here to create a slow stitching piece full of texture. Subscribe to be notified of new videos.

I would suggest that if you want to wash it, use a fabric medium to treat the fabric or paint. Let the fabric set 72 hours before washing.

Good suggestion, thanks!

What fabric medium do u suggest, and how do you use it. Thanks.

@@lindyloo7786 I'm thinking that an acrylic fabric medium would be good. Watercolors WILL, for the most part, wash out. I know that Golden makes GAC 900 but it's a bit spendy. I think one of the other crafty brands must have something. I have only used acrylic paint and fabric dyes when I have painted on fabric. Heat set after it dries well, or like for canvas shoes, run them in the dryer for quite a while. It has been decades since I've done that.

I work with watercolor and love this idea. Never thought about using specific cloths to wipe my brushes on and then use those clothes to create slow stitch projects! Thank you!
@peaceofpi-studio 10 ай бұрын
That’s a perfect idea for you! The random marks from wiping your brushes should make a beautiful cloth for stitching! 😊🧵🪡

I like my Gelli Plate for this. I add the paint to the plate and spray it with a fine mist before adding the pre washed 100% cotton fabric. I can build layers doing it this way with no harsh edges. Sometimes I use direct pigment inks with stencils and stamps over them to add texture. I patchwork the squares to make backgrounds for my collage art quilts with machine and hand embroidery. My Derwent water colour backgrounds work well with their Intense pencils and blocks range. The Derwent water colours don’t wash out and don’t need a fabric medium. It’s a bit like making your very own custom batik fabric.

@@peaceofpi-studio That would be great and I look forward to your video. I know a lot of new needlework enthusiasts don’t know about them and whilst they’re pricey, they blend beautifully on fabric and are permanent. I love working with them. I like my Faber Castell Gelatos too 😊

I know for sure that if you struggle with watercolors, it is the paper that is 99% of the problem. Just playing on good paper - with a high % of cotton - makes a huge difference! Cheap paints and brushes to learn but put your $$ into the paper. :D

Hello, I do not know English. KZfaq does not translate it into Turkish. The work you have done with the subtitles is very nice. First of all, I would like to congratulate you. Does this watercolor not come off when washed? Do you fix it with any product? I would be very happy if you answer. Thank you. Best regards from Turkey.❤

Hello! Thank you for your kind comment! You are correct, a textile medium would need to be mixed with the paint to make it permanent and washable. The process demonstrated here is not meant for fabric that will be washed. 😊🧵🪡

@peaceofpi-studio Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Natural fibers like cotton and linen are best, I’m not sure if things like polyester or rayon would absorb the paints. You could paint over say, a cotton print, and the print would most likely show through the Watercolor paint. It might be a nice effect!

@peaceofpi-studio Жыл бұрын
I would say with this method not permanent for a quilt. I recommend looking into Derwent Inktense - they go on dry and then are activated with water for beautiful watercolor effects. They are permanent on fabric when ironed. If you search KZfaq for “Derwent Inktense on fabric” you can see some good demonstrations 😊🧵🪡

@peaceofpi-studio Жыл бұрын
It’s possible. I’m not planning to wash these small pieces. Heat setting with an iron will help with permanence along with time as the longer it cures the better. If the fabric will be washed it’s worth doing a test swatch to see.
