Lace and silk

[Leslie Bohoss]

Hi to all,

I need your help:

Is there a "simple" way to paint (transparent) lace cloth in oil? Or is this not recommended for beginners?

I used the search function, already, but found not so much explaining. About silk (another problem for me) a little bit more.

It's important for me, because most of the the Old Master paintings have silk or lace or both.(By the way, I mean, that makes the paintings so "Old Master-Style")

Perhaps I want to copy this here.

Thank you!!
