Sharon Butler blogs about a range of painters employing bleaching, staining, and dyeing techniques in their work.

Butler posts images by Matthew J. Mahler, Helen Frankenthaler, Halsey Hathaway, Lauren Luloff, Saira Mclaren, Piotr Uklanski, Angela Gualdoni, and Richard Tuttle. In the cited examples, she writes, the artists use "canvas and fabric like the woven materials they are, rather than transforming them through finely-prepared grounds, modeling paste, or thick applications of paint."
