This is a wonderful gallery of beautiful silk paintings but more than that it explains where to gain inspiration for your own magical silk paintingsIt shows various breathtaking photographs with tips on how to translate the photos into wonderful silk paintings. The book also contains example paintings of well-know artists with details on how each painting was achieved. This book shows you how to paint everyday objects and turn them into an exquisite piece of art. The useful rundown on all the techniques and handling of materials proved essential reading for me. I am now looking forward to making a simple scarf with a picture of some flowers from my back garden. A lovely book indeed!!
