BATIK SILK PAINTING WITH JEAN-BAPTISTE - FINE ART - PITONS, ST. LUCIA
This video depicts how Master Silk Artist Daniel Jean-Baptiste creates unique art on silk. This one is of the Pitons of Saint Lucia.
Daniel is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, creating delicate hues of colour and light by painting 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 colours can bleed freely on the fabric. The finished piece is water resistant and lightfast, ready for framing behind glass.
Jean-Baptiste uses tropical nature as his inspiration and silk as his Canvas.

Painting Silk: how to paint Landscapes - Fine - Art - Tips
Textile artist Daniel Gabriel Angelo Jean-Baptiste was born on the Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia , in 1963, to parents of Dutch Jewish and African Carib descent.
Jean-Baptiste childhood experience was that of a tiny one street Village of Choiseul, under the shadow of the towering Gros Piton. Spare time was spent fishing off the village’s long wooden jetty, which gave Jean-Baptiste first glimpses of the colorful creatures that inhabited the Caribbean Sea. The plants and fish that intrigued the young boy would later dominate his art. Childhood days were sweet, sweet as perfumed breezes of Saint Lucia.
