Stitchery e colore spray-wet

Ecco un'altra tecnica per colorare lo stitchery con le matite acquerellabili. Questa volta ho utilizzato le matite Derwent Inktense. Sono matite dai colori brillanti e una volta acquerellate si ottiene un effetto simile all'inchiostro, da qui il loro nome. Il colore asciutto è permanente e si può usare altri materiali a base di acqua su strati successivi. Per questo motivo le matite Inktense sono adatte alla tecnica mixed media.

Io le ho abbinate allo stitchery e con il metodo spray-wet su stoffa bagnata si ottengono dei colori dai toni sorprendentemente pastello e sfumature veramente carine.

 

Questo è il progetto del corso on-line Stitchery Love Workshop.
