Silk Paper (Minor Imperfection)

Stock due January 10th 2025

Enjoy a 20% discount on these slightly imperfect silk papers, featuring minor marks or fibres that don't compromise their overall quality.

Take your art to the next level with silk paper, a luxurious painting surface for artists to create Chinese inspired art, chinoiserie wallpaper designs, botanical paintings and so much more!

You will receive 4 sheets of paper backed silk, the exact material I use to create my Chinoiserie paintings and silk wallpapers.

This is silk fabric that's been specially treated for painting, and backed with paper to create a perfectly smooth surface. Paint will not bleed and paint edges will be perfectly crisp, It's been a game changer for my art practise!

The silk colour is off white and slightly creamy in colour.

The silk paper is hand made in small batches and minor imperfections such as small marks or fibres are to be expected.

Each sheet measures approximately 23 x 35cm (9.05 x 13.7 inches)

Perfectly smooth surface, no slubs, bumps or texture

Paint glides on creating a luxurious finish

Can build up layers and add fine details

Can be dyed with a thin watered down coat of paint (one that does not move when wet, such as acrylic paint).

Can be used with a variety of paint types but I mostly love gouache and watercolour.

This surface can accept extremely watered down paint.

Create stunning techniques, from washes and paint effects, to ultra fine detailed artwork.

Plan your design in advance and transfer to the silk when you are happy with the composition. If you rub out pencil lines on this silk, the rubber marks may be visible in some lights. 

Do not over handle, grease from hands can cause the paint to resist the silk. 

Arrives to you rolled in a cardboard tube, please flatten by using a low heat iron, cover silk with paper to protect then leave to cool under heavy books.
