Behind the Design- Rainbow Ombre
One of the first designs I ever did had a base like this: a blended / ombre rainbow. One of the things I like best about silk painting is how it resembles watercolor, that if you let the color do the work for you, they blend beautifully when you apply enough water. My one challenge with this set of dyes is getting the red red enough- it’s often pinker than I mean. That’s not a problem for me per se, but it’s the principle. Sometimes you need fire engine red, don’t you know. Another feature of this ombre is that I decided that I’d start with blue instead of red, just to mix things up, so to speak.
