The process of painting on silk is a
time consuming and arduous one ... tremendous patience is needed
to accomplish the end results that Jutta's work displays.
This difficult form of artistic expression
requires a high level of precision and accuracy to ensure there
is no leakage (or bleed) between the various colours.
The five stages outlined below, briefly
describe each step in the process and will give you some insight
into just how laborious this art-form can be.
Because Jutta sets such high standards
for herself, she often takes up to 3 months to complete one
painting, sometimes spending weeks
in the preparation stages of sketching and painting the designs
on paper, before beginning the actual silk painting.
This painstaking process is the only
way she can ensure that she will achieve the perfect balance
of colour and harmony necessary in this exacting art form.
Even if the result is sometimes only
evident to other experienced silk painters, it is a distinctive
characteristic of all Jutta's silk paintings.
