Are these colours resistant ?
Yes, absolutely.
We use special silk colours, manufactured by French producer Pébéo, which do not run, leak, bleach or fade at all.

What about framing and hanging the silk painting onto the window ?
Yes, this is a good idea. Our paintings are either ready-to-frame or rolled pictures.
Silk looks brilliant against light, but it is better to avoid direct sunlight, though.
We can also ship the silk as a piece of cloth. There are great workshops and galleries all around the world
who will stretch and frame the painting for You, so that You`ll have exactly the finish You want.
