Fabric paint, which are also known as textile paint, is most commonly made from an acrylic polymer. This acrylic, which is bonded with a color and then emulsified, makes the paint durable against routine use, multiple washes, and sunlight.
Silk, wool, linen, and cotton are ideal options for painting fabrics. Although paints could spread and bleed into the surface of the material, the colors tend to dry and preserve boldly and are rich in color. Natural fabrics will work well with most types of paint.
The technique of fabric painting has roots dating back to 3000 B.C. Fabric painting is a craftsmanship that began thousands of years ago in Asia and eventually expanded to other parts of Asia, Europe and Africa through trade routes.
Fabric painting is a skill of applying colors on the fabric to make it attractive which is very exciting experience. Painting techniques make stunning creativeness which is made by the depth of hue and shades or the creativity of the textures formed.
Fabric paint is permanent and even machine washable on fabrics once dry. When you are painting on fabrics with fabric paint, it's important to cover your work surface with a protective covering, and keep it away from other fabrics that you don't want paint on, such as carpeting and clothing.
Fabric painting can be used to decorate everything from clothing to home furnishings like curtains and tablecloths. It opens all sorts of possibilities for creative expression, allows you to create unique one-of-a-kind works of art, and it isn't hard to do.
Today, textile art which can also be known by the terms fiber art or fabric art, is much more than the medieval tapestries you may immediately associate with the medium — but can take myriad forms.
