🌀 Original Artist- Painted Silk “Sleeping Beauty” Framed Gutta Percha

Beautifully depicted, we see Beauty, carrying her oil lamp, looks up at the daunting pile of mattresses that she is supposed to sleep on (to determine if she is a REAL PRINCESS). Professionally framed; frame measures 26” tall x 28” wide. Minor scuffing on frame; see photo. The Serti (closing or fence) technique is the silk painting technique where designs are outlined with gutta or water-based resists, which are applied to white silk that has been pre-washed, dried and stretched (on a stretcher). Once the gutta or water-based resist has dried, it acts as a barrier for the dye or paint; keeping the color within the outlined areas of the design and allowing you to achieve sharply defined borders. After the dye or paint has been properly set, the clear gutta or resist is removed and a defining line the color of the original fabric remains. Colored guttas and resists are also available that are meant to remain in the fabric.
