Painting with KREUL Javana Silk Paint in watercolour style

08/26/2025 |

Who says silk paint is only for scarves and fabrics? KREUL's highly pigmented silk paints can do so much more! They are brilliant, intense, lightfast and even waterproof once dry – an advantage over classic watercolours. Perfect for creating fresh, summery watercolour-style lettering in no time at all.

 

We chose the colour turquoise. The bright blue immediately brings to mind swimming pools, the sea and the sky – perfect for getting you in the summer mood. Join in: all you need is KREUL Javana Silk Paint, a flat brush, a round brush, watercolour paper and tap water.

 

 

 

 

Step 1: Getting to know the paint

When you open the jar, you immediately notice that the silk paint is extremely fluid – almost like water, but with much more intense pigmentation. This is precisely what makes it so exciting, because it creates a beautiful watercolour effect on paper.
 

Step 2: The watercolour-style background

We apply the paint to damp watercolour paper using a flat brush. The paint immediately begins to flow, blur and develop its own character – much like classic watercolour paint, only more intense.
 

Step 3: Add small effects

Now it gets exciting: we add some specific accents with a few brush strokes. We also sprinkle coarse salt onto the still-wet surface. This absorbs the paint in certain places and leaves behind interesting textures once it dries.

Step 4: Apply lettering

Once the background is completely dry, it's time for the finishing touches: using a soft round brush, we paint the lettering directly onto the surface. The brilliant pigments make the turquoise shine particularly intensely – the lettering looks almost as if it were printed.

Conclusion: KREUL Javana Silk Paint surprises with its versatility. Thanks to its liquid consistency, it can be painted on paper like watercolour paint. It also scores points for its brilliant luminosity and water resistance after drying. In no time at all, you can create summery lettering that spreads good cheer and brings lasting joy. Try it for yourself – and let the ‘flow’ of the paint carry you away!
