Pebeo Setasilk Fabric Paints 45ml is a water-based fabric paint designed for use on various silk types, including twill, pongee, crêpe de Chine, georgette crêpe, and damask silk. Its vibrant, intense colours are ready to use, blend seamlessly, and can be lightened with the Setasilk lightening medium. The paint's smooth texture allows for easy application, delivering rich, luminous tones without stiffening the silk, so the fabric retains its natural softness and flexibility.
Pebeo Setasilk Fabric Paints 45ml is perfect for a range of silk painting techniques, such as gutta crimping, salt sprinkling, sun painting, and wax batik. For the popular gutta crimping method, it’s recommended to use water-based Pebeo Gutta for creating borders that separate colours in your designs. The colours are set simply by ironing, making the silk washable afterwards.
To achieve the best results, stretch the silk over a frame or secure it on a fleece using adhesive—this is especially useful for items like ties. Beginners can explore Pebeo's starter kits, which include multiple colours and essential tools for their first silk painting project.
Pebeo Setasilk Fabric Paints 45ml is suitable for both beginners and experienced artists, offering premium quality and fast-drying properties. It dries in just a few minutes in open air, making it a convenient and reliable choice for silk painting.
