I think either option would still work but testing on a 6" x 8" piece of fabric would be a good idea. The fabric textile medium is affordable enough that you can play with it to see if it works for your own purpose. Sounds like a beautiful project!Christy Sheeler Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17153473776560446211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133168584120114651.post-41223671879597092462023-10-26T08:09:38.451-06:002023-10-26T08:09:38.451-06:00Hello!

If you do use this to clean your brushes, you'll need to clean them once more with dishsoap or Pink Soap brush cleaner to remove any oil residue.

It has a linen finish on one side and a plastic on the other. It comes in several weights and colors: white, beige and gray. It hangs beautifully! Wrinkles fall out if it hasn’t been creased too much. It doesn’t have to be hemmed. I’ve used staples in a pinch. I’ve sewn together two widths when needed. I also sew a pocket for a rod. I used house paint, craft paint and oil paint markers. Because the material has body in that it doesn’t drape like a cloth, the paint doesn’t crack.haven’t tried watercolors yet. You might try clear gesso for a protective layer, too. A bit cheaper than Scotchgard and covers more area.

I believ...I am cautious about washing this banner. I believe I did wash it once and it seemed that the colors faded a bit. It's been a while since doing this project but it I believe I gently washed it in the bath tub. Freezer paper has a shiny slick surface on one side. Parchment paper might work. Use something to protect the work surface because the fabric medium will make the pigment difficult to clean up afterwards. The lightest areas stayed more pliable but it is a bit stiffer; that may also differ depending on the fabric used. Where the black lettering is applied, it is shiny and thicker because of the consistency of the paint. I am now back to using the banner at vendor events and have recently applied a coat of Scotchguard spray for resisting dirt and stains. I will probably only spot clean gently from now on.Christy Sheeler Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17153473776560446211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8133168584120114651.post-37614965429106652662022-06-13T23:13:52.933-06:002022-06-13T23:13:52.933-06:00hi christy, this sounds great ! hope it's wash...hi christy, this sounds great ! hope it's washable and permanent.

Sounds like you'll be having some extra special time thinking on that special someone as you paint. My time spent creating is often introspective and meditative. Like you, I also enjoy painting from my own photographs. Now and then, I see a photo shared on FB or IG and I ask the person sharing if I may paint from it. I've never had anyone turn me down! Enjoy!

I am ...SO glad to have found you and this tutorial! I am much more at home with fabric, yarn, and embroidery thread than I am with paper and paint, but I thought that painted wall hangings would be a lot more "me" than painting on paper. The softness of watercolor is perfect for the look I want. I had forgotten all about the window tracing method, which would be perfect for the portrait I want to do of someone long gone that I and many others miss terribly. Most of the rest will probably be landscapes done from either my personal photographs or from the beautiful sunset photos that my SO has sent me. No copyright violations anywhere.

I used masking tape to fasten the corners of the freezer paper to a hard tabletop surface. I used a folding table for my experimenting stage. When I was ready to begin the banner, I prepared to work on a washable surface on my drafting table. Yes to the hard surface, with a protective mat like the freezer paper. No to a soft or absorbent surface.
