You stretch your silk on stretcher bars. draw lines with gutta percha (kinda like mucilage).
Then paint with the water based dye between the lines. Let it dry, then iron it between newsprint to set the colors. It is transparent, not opaque like regular fabric paint. The colors are quite vivid.

Jacquard brand paint.
