I was inspired to try milk painting after seeing this, so I spent a night making a wolf picture and then decided to try it out with my class for life drawing today (Tuesday). This was a little ambitious as there were a lot of students and just two irons, but it gave them a flavor of this technique, which is really lovely and reminds me of lithography which I have not had the opportunity to do for some time now.
Sorry I am jumping around in my posts at the moment as I am still without my computer.
I can't find any written instructions on how to do this. Do you just paint with milk and then iron it afterwards?
ReplyDeletethis sounds exciting!

I would like to know thow to do that too!!
ReplyDeletePatrice very happy about that :-D
ReplyDeleteOk in answer to you all Emmel, Patrice and Janet
you just paint the milk onto paper (we used semi skimmed) I don't know if higher fat content would make a difference.
Iron with an iron on it's hottest setting (no Steam)
I built layers up if an ara needed more detail or to be darker then I just repeated the process.
I've never heard of this before, will definitely give it a try! I love your blog by the way, you post such interesting things and inspire a lot of my art classes and my own work, thanks!
