Daniel Jean-Baptiste

Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of color and light by painting the wet-on-wet method in which liquid paints are delicately applied using small Sumi bamboo sheep hair brushes. The silk is positioned flat while suspended in a stretcher so that the wet colors can bleed freely on the fabric. The finished piece is water-resistant and lightfast, ready for framing behind glass.
