Silk art, also known as silk painting or silk dyeing, is a type of traditional Chinese and Japanese art that involves the use of dyes applied to silk fabrics to create colorful, intricate designs. The dyes are applied to the fabric using a brush or other tools, and the fabric is often stretched taut on a frame to prevent wrinkles and ensure a smooth surface for painting.
