Experimenting with paint

On Corinne's blog I read about a workshop she had taken and that gave me inspiration to do some experimenting with paint. As they are experiments the fabric is A4 size (8,5"x11"). For the first one I started with a mainly yellow procion dyed piece of fabric. This I sprayed with water, crunched it and placed a hot iron on it creating all kind of wrinkles in it. With a foam sponge I dapped turqoise Golden acrylic paint over it and let it dry.

The next day I heatset the fabric by ironing it from the back. The fabric needed more color so I repeated the process of spraying it and wrinkling it again. This time I used quinacridone burnt orange Golden acrylic paint on it.

Next day I ironed it and this is how it looks finished (the picture turns up a bit too light, the yellow in the two pictures above is the real color):

This was not the only piece of fabric I played with. I also worked with this brown sunprint. Here you see it folded and dapped with the first layer of color quinacridone burt orange and nickel azo gold. I buy these paints from the US as I have no idea where - or if - I can buy them here. The colors are gorgeous!

Next day when I had ironed the fabric it was more interesting than the piece I started with, but it needed a lighter color. Again I folded the fabric - this time in the other direction, sprayed it with water and ironed it. The color I used this time was metallic silver from Lumiere.

I am not certain whether it needs something more, but this is how it looks now:
