Last year I joined in with a Seasons themed series of workshops at Littleheath Barn. This year the theme for the Art Textile Groups is Landscapes.
Liske introduced us to various drawing and collage techniques. I used photos of canals for this session.
I looked online for photos of people's work that I admire and I hope will provide inspiration.
We did some mark making and I used photos of the coast as inspiration.
In our latest session we started with painting dye and paint on fabric. I worked on this piece of scrim laid over silk noil. However I didn't much like the colours and wasn't inspired at all. This was mostly because I was still confused about which landscape I was concentrating on - rural, coastal or urban.
After discussion with a friend I took her suggestion of concentrating on coastal. When I turned the fabric the other way up I can see how I can make this coastal!
I then started working with my favourite colours and back in my comfort zone. This was mark making on silk noil.
This was using up the paint with torn paper and a dry brush.
I used dye on this piece of silk noil.
I prefer the back of it.
It will be interesting to see how this develops next year.
Thanks for joining me today.
