Chinoiserie Painting Starter Set

Learn how to paint Chinoiserie art with this set of three Chinese brushes and four sheets of luxurious silk paper.

If you've fallen in love with those stunning hand painted chinoiserie wallpapers and would love to create your own, you're in the right place and my goal is to help you make that happen. 

The Chinese paint brushes are meticulously hand crafted with soft bristles that form a sharp tip, whilst retaining an incredible amount of liquid. This allows you to paint ultra smooth strokes and exquisite levels of detail with less reloading.

The silk paper has been specially treated for painting, and backed with paper to create a perfectly smooth surface for you to paint on.

Follow the steps in my E-book to start creating high level art to truly impress!

1 x Chinoiserie Detail Brush 

2 x Chinoiserie Paint & Blend Brushes

4 x Sheets Of Silk Paper

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.

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. 

Silk colour is off white, slightly creamy in colour.

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

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.
