Fabric // Pink Rose

Fabric painting with Creall tex mix, and poster paint

I love to paint on fabrics and turn these fabrics into bags, dresses and bed linen. Most time I stick with patterns with stripes and plaids. This time I wanted to create a painting of pink rose.

Materials I used

Creall Dacta colour poster paint 08 Cyclamen;
Royal Talens school colour (poster paint) 502 Deep Blue;
Creall tex mix (textile medium);
Talens Decorfin textile transparent colour 620 Olive Green
