      Textile Painting - Silk, Velvet, Satin, Cotton, Linen and All Cloths - D. M. Campan

      CHAPTER I

      Textile Colors

      CAMPANA’S TEXTILE COLORS are made from compound extract of coal tar. They are very rich and a few drops will tint as much as a pint of water. They can be diluted with water only. They can be used in all light tinted materials. By passing over the painted cloth with a hot iron covered with a damp cloth, such colors will be made still faster and adhering. There is no other color as bright and brilliant as Campana’s textile colors. Beautiful shawls, scarfs, neck pieces, pillow cases, dresses, parasols, fans, window curtains, lamp shades, table covers, to give only a few articles will decorate with attractive effects. Photographs with matt surface can be painted nicely and even water color pictures can be made with them. However, the purpose of these colors are for textile decorations. Decorate your dress or your hat and you will show individuality and artistic taste Other unusual articles are hand-painted pillow cases, painted silk covered parasols, beautiful silk fans, neckties, table cloths, tea sets, lamp shades. All these things can be nicely made up and disposed of at good prices. Similar articles coming from Europe are very expensive and appreciated. Taken all together Campana’s Textile Colors are useful and a strong addition to the popular lines of colors used by artists, such as oil colors, water colors and pastel colors. Lighter shades are made by adding water to those colors, but do so on the palette. While working, for instance, add enough water to make the desired shade and then add a little quantity of Textile Medium. Out of one color you can make many graduations simply by adding more or less water.

      Regular water colors, preferably tubes, can be used instead of Textile Colors. They are used in the usual way by squeezing out a small quantity of the varied colors on the palette and applying on the silk. They will not spread unless your brush is too full of color. Do not coat your silk with any preparation lest it lose its smoothness. But, if you can afford, purchase the textile colors. They leave your silk in its original texture, the decorations look bright and shining. In my varied decorations on silk, I have tried all colors, have also used many colors in combinations between themselves. Textile for bright parts, water colors for solid effect and Egyptian Lacquer for medium strong flat tones. Egyptian Lacquer also works on silk, but they dry flat. They do not spread in the least.

      When you work on silk do not figure on applying detail and highlight by using white. Of course, this can be done, but the white will make the cloth stiff. If the work you are painting is a picture or any similar subject that does not require handling, white may be used, but as a rule highlights are left on the plain white silk just as you leave them in the white paper when you paint in water colors. List of all colors can be had by writing this author and will be sent free of charge. Ask for free catalog.

      White and light colored silks, crepe de chine, etc., can also be decorated with Egyptian lacquers. They are
