Meeting: Saturday and Sunday, December 6th and
7th
"Winter Whites" with Sandy Rodgers
2 day workshop -- shading on canvas
On Saturday and Sunday, Sandy will be teaching a wonderful
new design titled
"Winter
Whites".
| Mere photographs cannot begin to capture
the visual impact of this spectacular composition. Two white poinsettias
are placed against soft blue Congress cloth, their petals graduating from
the crisp sparkle of a winter morning to the pale, satiny saturation of spring
growth yet to come. Enhancing the silken petals are holly leaves outlined
in silver bullion and painted in class with metallic paint marker.
Backing the flowers are two bands of shadow stitching done with a darker
value of the ground color.
Learn the easy way to create depth and dimension
as you use your needle and silks to bring these flowers to life.
Winter Whites is a study in realistic shading using both basic and
enhancement techniques. Stitching time will be allotted in class for
experimentation and to practice the methods with the help of the instructor.
In addition to realistic shading and how easy it is to do, we'll also
cover how to use paint markers on canvas and contemporary couching of
bullion. The instruction booklet contains 'work-in-progress' photos
which make completing the project easy. Basic color theory and the
placement of special techniques within a motif to enhance depth perception
and shading will also be part of the class sessions.
