Description
Pebeo Setasilk Lightening Medium is used to create lighter and clearer tones of Pebeo Setasilk colours without reducing the quality of the colour nor making it more fluid. Pebeo Setasilk paints are bright and intense heat-fixable, transparent colours ideal for silk painting on all types of silk like twill, pongé, crêpe de Chine, crêpe georgette and damask silk. Setasilk colours suit all silk painting techniques such as tie-dye, outlines, salt sprinkling technique, watercolour, sun technique, wax batik and mahaju technique. They retain the silk’s flexibility and offer a palette of rich, refined tones and great brightness. These colours are fluid and fuse onto silk. These ready to use colours are extremely intermixable. After applying colour, do not hesitate to go (paint) over the wet paint where the colour is non-uniform/lighter.
Pebeo Setasilk Lightening Medium is available in a 45 ml bottle with a dropper nozzle. It is a transparent medium with a glossy finish.Squirrel brushes are ideal for silk painting as they are soft and thin, and have a high retention capacity. For backgrounds and solids, foam brushes are the most practical.Clean the brushes with soap and water before and after use.
Before being worked, silk must be either stretched on a frame or placed on a fleece and fixed with an adhesive. This solution is more convenient for media such as neckties. Some silks require washing before use to remove the primer. Wait until the colours are dry before fixing them. For fixing the paint onto the silk, set the knob of the iron to the cotton setting without steam and iron the silk on the reverse side for 5 minutes. 48 hours after fixing, the decorated piece can be washed by hand and machine (delicate setting).
