Huntly Silk Painting Studio

04/07/2026

Today’s Saturday Silk Painting Live is the first practical session in my July Summer Garden series.

I’ll be showing how I turn flowers from the garden into a 1:1 line drawing for a silk scarf, then use gutta to draw the outline onto the silk before colour is added.

This is not a full structured class — just a quiet studio demonstration from Huntly Silk Painting Studio, showing the early planning stage of a silk painting design.

Today’s focus:

• choosing useful flower and leaf shapes
• simplifying details from a garden photo
• creating a scarf-size line drawing
• transferring the design onto silk with gutta
• preparing the outline for colour in the next stage

If you would like to follow the July series, prepare a few flower, leaf or garden photos for the next session.

Please use your own photos, or make sure you have permission to use them as art references.

Before and after... have I saved this plant? 😅

A friend kindly gave me this beautiful plant.

It looked lovely when it first arrived... and then life got busy.

Workshops, videos, studio admin, family life...

Before I knew it, it looked more dead than alive.

Yesterday I finally gave it some attention and discovered lots of tiny green shoots hiding underneath.

Now I'm cautiously hopeful! 🤞

Do you think I've saved it?

While I'm waiting to find out, I'd love to see what's growing in your garden.

Please share a photo of your favourite flower in the comments.

I’ll choose photos from 3 people to inspire future silk painting designs, and each selected gardener will receive a free Coffee Break Silk Painting voucher at Huntly Silk Painting Studio.

A small note: by sharing your photo in the comments, you are kindly giving Huntly Silk Painting Studio permission to use it as inspiration for future silk painting designs and related studio content. Please only share photos you have taken yourself, or have permission to share.

Your flowers, my paintbrush 🎨🌸

Let's see what's blooming around Huntly this summer.
