My experience with this set is really odd. All of these colors are fairly granulating, which usually works best with very textured paper. However, I found Mayan blue in particular to be incredibly gritty and uneven on Arches rough press paper. I had to resort to painting a layer of phthalo blue on top to get some cohesiveness. But all the colors were easy to control in wet into wet washes to created carefully light and shadows on smoother Canson Montval, which is a good quality wood pulp paper, and it was lovely when I used it fairly concentrated on hot press paper to paint a dark pond. I really love piedmonte and jadite in particular, and this set is fun to play with, it is quite expensive, and I have to use a lot of paint to get deep colors, to the point of it being gooey, so not very cost effective.
I don't recall you mentioning it, but can you give an estimate of time needed for paint to dry on the fabric? I'm sure how much or how heavy you put the paint on makes a difference, but just an estimate of time? Over night? Or several hours? Or even faster? Thanks.
Bonsoir, Quel travail minutieux !!! Cest très beau. Perso je ne pourrais pas en faire vu ma vue extrêmement basse. Merci pour le partage. Bonne soirée 😍🌹🤩❤️😻🥰💋♥️❣️😘
A beauty! Two questions: 1) is there a way to make a knot at the tip of the thread on the back of the art? It seems it might come to the front side if there's no ending blocking. 2) how do you wash it when it's dusty or dirty? Thank you!
You have given me a fantastic idea! I have some old embroidery from my grandmother and mother that needs some TLC. I actually use the embroidered t-towels from my family it reminds me of them as I use them. But, they have gotten threadbare and need some touch-ups. I am working on projects for my grandkids. Thanks!!
Would it be plausible to use a larger hoop, over several larger areas, working on a large size wall piece. Then attach it to a picture frame and fill in the rest? This is all new to me, but I want to do maybe a 2ftx3ft picture .
thank you for the alternative! those lil yellow flowers were a mistery and I just don't know enough to find a solution so thank you for giving me an idea
1 Don't use staples...They will eventually cut the canvas. 2 Why are we seeing the back? The whole point of lunch needle is to see the loops. If you want embroidery, why waste so much yarn making loops? 3 It's fun to do ....I used to do it in the last 80s/early 90s. The texture created is so fun!
