Silk painting

Methods vary, but using traditional supplies of 100% silk fabric, stretched in a frame, and applying textile paints or dyes are the beginnings of the process of making textile art.

Silk painting employs gutta as a resist, allowing fine patterns to be achieved.

Silk painting (Tranh lụa) was a traditional artisanry in Vietnam.

[3] Silk paintings of the modern period in Vietnam were taken up by some of the students and French teachers at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de l'Indochine (EBAI) in Hanoi during the 1930s.

[4] The earliest representative of the new interest in silk painting at a 1931 Paris exhibition of silk paintings was Nguyễn Phan Chánh, a student of EBAI who had originally trained in calligraphy, and who struggled with French oil techniques, and so whom the school director Victor Tardieu encouraged to use traditional media.
