Personal Places-Portraits in the Landscape
This class offers students an opportunity to tell a story in the making of their quilts. You will choose one or more photographs to tell this story.
You will be learning design, color and perspective. A combination of machine thread painting techniques, embellishments, and the use of paint to enhance your landscape will be demonstrated.
The first step in the process will be making a landscape. Following the general idea of the landscape photograph you create a fabric canvas to establish your landmarks, sky, land, water, etc. You then add the details making your landscape complete.
The next step is producing a portrait. Based on the photograph of your person or portrait you will learn an easy to follow technique that produces life-like portraits. A short demonstration on how to posterize your photographs in photo Shop Elements 8 will give you a head start on your portrait.
The final step will be joining the two processes together, thus telling your story.
