I haven't tried tube watercolors. Obviously, more liquid is likely to bleed more, so if I'm trying to avoid that, I try to have a drier brush. <br /><br />Have you tried using the freezer paper as a stencil? It really helps to stop the paint from Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919005875185335727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-59975043823065243372017-01-23T23:08:27.654-06:002017-01-23T23:08:27.654-06:00Hi!

Heat set it with an iron. <br /><br />If you use the freezer paper stencil method, I'm not sure if it will bleed in the laundry. You may want to do a small test with the fabric you'd plan on using just to be safe.Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05919005875185335727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-76597769003706063682014-10-30T13:15:40.882-05:002014-10-30T13:15:40.882-05:00If I were to use this tinting technique on a bag t...If I were to use this tinting technique on a bag that I make, how well do think it would hold up?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500979.post-29356468452460242582013-11-24T20:14:10.881-06:002013-11-24T20:14:10.881-06:00I enjoy your work and tutorials tremendously.
