Painting can take on so many forms!!

Painting can take on so many forms!!!
So, should you not have supplies with you at your ready — this gives each of us an opportunity to really do some CREATIVE THINKING & MAKING!!!
Some of you may have your supplies with you, but some of you may not.
I do not want to ask you to go out and purchase a new palette of paints — so let’s put on our thinking caps and really do some mining!!

Some of you may have access to your paints , or a few of them?
Some of you may have access to drawing supplies?
Some of you may have access to ink?
Some of you may have access to images for collage?
Some of you may have access to fabric, old clothes, etc?

I will need to know this so I can work independently with each of you.
Following your own thinking on this idea and what direction you might like to explore in material, please respond to this email to let me know your thoughts. Remember, to put your painting knowledge already gained to work for you — you know a great deal already!!

Here’s some inspiration for you to think of painting with thread…

Hannah Rae: Weathered and worn textile art

 
For interior design, mood boards are common practice. You'll have seen them in magazines; those beautiful arrangements of compatible fabrics, objects, images and paint colours used to develop a decor plan for a room.

Hannah Rae used the same idea throughout her career in the fashion industry, creating inspiration boards for her clothing designs. It proved so useful she instinctively brought the technique into her art practice, gathering snippets and samples to generate ideas then creating mock-ups before starting her final piece.

Hannah is a textile artist with a penchant for faded fabrics, rusting metals and decomposing wood. Discover how she uses eco printing, dyeing, appliqué and stitch to work a weathered feel into her textile art, inspired by these timeworn materials.

You'll also find out how creating inspiration boards can help you design and develop your artwork ideas.

Textile artists inspired by architecture

 
We’ve posted several articles about landscape textile artists, and now it’s time to showcase those who focus on architecture. While architecture indeed rests within landscapes, these four artists pay particular attention to stitching buildings’ structural details in the most amazing ways. 

Debbie Smyth’s thread drawings capture historic and current architecture in simple, yet intricate, ways. Harriet Popham uses thread in a similar fashion, but she combines architecture with animals and nature to create whimsical interior art pieces. 

Karen Goetzinger uses a mixed-media approach with her urban scenes featuring thread designs on painted surfaces. And Ruth Chalk literally knits her architecture into being, using reclaimed and recycled materials in the most novel ways.

Step into these architectural worlds of stitch and enjoy the view
