Painting With Fabric: Creating Art with Fabric Collage and Landscape Quilting - Softcover

Painting With Fabric
Artist Jeanine Malaney explains how to creating artworks utilizing fabric. This technique will allow you to paint a picture with fabric! It's not a typo...it is not painting on fabric, though Jeanine does utilize paints minimally for shading or highlighting; rather, this is creating a "painting" with the medium of fabric instead of paint! Soooooo fun and less threatening than using paints.

You will learn the process of finding an inspiration, establishing a design based on the elements of artistic composition, selecting appropriate fabrics, collage layering, use of paint for detail and shading. Also included are design tips for skies, water, mountains, rocks, cliffs, foliage, trees, figures and buildings.

If you want to create original and unique fabric collages, one-of-a-kind watercolor or landscape quilts, and without the purchase of any kind of kit, this is your book
