Choose your fabric carefully (and weigh it)

There is a great variety of textiles and textiles to choose from for hand painting! You may use a delicate natural silk or a natural oatmeal linen for light scarves for rustic tea towels. If possible, make a few small swatches from your chosen tissue so that you can check the tint and application coherence before the print is done. Some textiles like cotton clothing must be pre-washed before printing or painting to prevent any decline. Do not use soft fabric or other treatments as they can impact final print absorption.

Experiment with various painting and printing processes.

Many ways to paint and print textiles are available. You may try to print blocks using a simple repeat template or use a hand paint to add a customized message to a T-Shirt. The matter can be dipped into a prepared ink solution, or diluted ink sprayed or even fastened in a loose mood. Before painting with water-based inks, you can also spray the tissue with water for a soft, spontaneous result. The sky is limited, so do not worry about playing with the right materials.

Use the right fabric hue.

It is necessary to choose the ink / color and the sustainability credentials for its easy application and durability. Aqua standards and glow tinctures provide a wonderful color choice for the traditional fabric prints on light colored fabrics. When printing on black or dark fabrics, dynamic tinting has amazing opacity while maintaining the ideal stretching and side-feeling.

Do not sweat small stuff.

Do you know what might be one of the best textile painting pieces? The thin, realistic smudges and edges make it absolutely unique and cardiac. You are not a robot, so do not worry about small errors when using your fingertips to paint the material. You may either use cotton swab to wip the spots, cover it later with a patch or button, or just take it as totally imperfect!

Make sure you heat your inks / paints.

The heating system enables ink pigments to bind and stick to your fabric fibres, a significant step in creating a durable finish for your textiles produced by man. You may use a drying tunnel, an iron, or a drop dryer. Please be sure to test your fabric swatch (particularly for sensitive fabrics) before using this method for your final print. When your textiles are set you are ready to knead, sell, wear, or even wash your finished painted textiles.
