In this class we will be creating a portrait using acrylic paints on canvas. I cover color mixing, creating values and building up layers.
The next step we create a wing like image using layers of fabric. We cut out and paint wing like shapes and embroider on top. I discuss and demonstrate using some traditional embroidery stitches as the base of the project and continue to layer with looser, more abstract and expressive stitches resulting in a very rich, textural fiber piece that we attach to the portrait. Finally we finish the project using collage methods
