Frequently Asked Questions

How do you set a painting on silk?

Follow the instructions on the paint, using an iron or steam. Once KREUL Javana paints are thoroughly dry, iron them on the cotton setting through a sheet of parchment paper or from the reverse side.

What is a disappearing marker used for?

For sketching a motif on fabric. Its mark disappears on its own, depending on the humidity and material, within 1 to 14 days. Do not heat-set or dry-clean the fabric until the mark has disappeared.

Can you paint on silk without resist?

Yes, without resist, the paint spreads freely, creating watercolor gradients. Resist (gutta) is needed when you want crisp outlines around motifs.
