Fabric painting is a creative technique that involves applying paint to fabric surfaces to create designs or images. This method can be used on various materials, including cotton, silk, and canvas. Special fabric paints are designed to adhere well and remain flexible after drying, ensuring that the painted fabric can be washed and used without losing its design. Artists and crafters often use stencils, brushes, or sponge techniques to achieve different effects in their fabric paintings. This versatile art form is popular for personalizing clothing, creating home decor items, and making unique gifts. With proper care, fabric paintings can last for many years.
