Fabric paintings are the simplest form of the world of painting. First of all let us understand the meaning of the term fabric. Fabric is a type of cloth or a material that is used for painting a design or an image.
A fabric can be of any type, say cotton, silk, jute, linen, chiffon,
denim or nylon, etc. Block painting and Batik painting are also an

Endless numbers of designs can be made on a simple shirts
or tops with fabric painting which will give them a trendier
look. For instance, the art of fabric painting can also be
applied on many things, such as, bed sheet, pillow covers,
curtains, wall hanging, sofa cover, denim jeans, etc.
But, before starting out fabric paintings, certain
things need to be kept in mind. According, to experts
on fabric paintings, a cotton fabric is the top bet
but the thing that needs to be looked upon is the degree
of stiffness of the fabric chosen.
A loosely stretched fabric must never be selected
for fabric painting as it might not produce the desired
color effect.
If there are any rumples on the fabric, iron the cloth
a bit hard because they can create mess with your design.

After the application of fabric painting, ironing of the
whole painted fabric must be done so as to bond the color
paint with the fabric. Always make a model of your design
on a rough piece before actually making it on the fabric.
Try to damp the fabric with small amount of water so that
colors could blend together with each other suitably.
