Silk painting , as an art deco design on silk, needs a very precious way to create it.
Among those, developing the use of stencils with silk paints and Art Deco designs
have proved to be an excellent way of using this technique. The stencil was cut
with alternating segments of the "fan" motif. The background was
painted and dried. Then the stencil was applied to the silk twice, in two
different positions, using two different shades of color on the
Chinese paintings. The spots were used to line up the second position.

During the whole process, please carefully deal with
each step, a little flawless may result in the bad born
Chinese landscape painting.
