After painting my hummingbird hawk moth for today’s world watercolour month in dylon fabric dye ( plus a little conventional watercolour).
I decided to put together some swatches for anybody interested in trying out this different painting medium . It paints and behaves in a very similar way to brusho, if you have any packets of dylon sat around the house, give it a try. The first swatches are dylon mixed with water and painted with a brush, following the mixing ( very few crystals are required, I guess for a more intense colour you could add more crystals.

Dylon crystals sprinkled on paper and spritzed with water
The second are crystals sprinkled on cheap watercolour paper and then spritzed with water, the crystals are a little larger than brusho, and I wonder if the effects could be better if I ground then down to a smaller size, would it work a little bette)? Some really beautiful colour emerge, just like brusho.

I absolutely love the images in the second frame, Rebecca. Wow! Dylon isn’t something I’ve ever heard of so I’ll have to see what the US equivalent of it is. Really fantastic effects you’re getting here.

Oh that is a shame, I guess any fabric dye would work

Same here Rebecca-these colors are absolutely beautiful and I would be interested in seeing what would be comparable in the US-the blue and lavender particularly stand out-

Yes I agree the ocean blue and lavender are lovely, I also love the terracotta and Amazon green.
