I had Setacolor green and cobalt blue paint left over from my sky painting, so I decided to paint silk organza with it rather than toss the paint. I mixed a turquoise shade, layered mop up cloths and failed experiments under the organza to sop up excess paint, and splashed the paint on.
To my surprise, the cloths meant to sop up the extra paint turned out well. The silk organza also turned out fine, but the payoff was those throw away cloths.
Here’s a pile of them, topped with the painted organza.
Three of the cloths from different layers.
A failure with iridescent paint made much more usable with turquoise.
Some of the cloths weren’t great so they have returned to the ugly duckling pile in hopes they’ll become swans in the future.
