ELThe word verdant keeps popping into my head - I think it is a longing for all things green and lush at the end of a wet and pretty dreary winter. I find myself searching for those little signs of spring - buds, little green shoots and some early blossoms. So today’s little experimental piece is an ode to spring greens. There was even a bit of sunshine to accompany it.
In this piece I have used only paper stencils and some small edges of cardboard as printing tools. I have varied the application of paint to add texture, and used different leaf shapes to give variety. I could continue adding to it to cover the whole piece of cloth, but this is enough to show what is possible with minimal equipment and a simple idea.
These techniques, and many more, are shared in my online course, Painting and Printing on Fabric. It guides you through everything you need to know to get started, provides ideas and inspiration for your own projects, and shares tips and tricks for achieving the best results. You don’t need any drawing skills to produce beautiful work, nor any expensive tools, and it can all be done from your dining room table!
You can find the 🔗 to the course in my bio above.
