I have been sketching again since I started watching DMTV. Just the other day I was think of turning one of my sketches into a thread sketch. Wasn't I surprised to find one of the talented women whose blogs I follow did just that. Sandra from the Netherlands did some interesting sketches of a boat using three different techniques. I did a thread sketch of a raven (so what's new) and then attempted to paint the sections like Linda Kemshall does. I don't think mine came out very well. I decided to try it again but this time leave just he thread. So here are my two attempts at thread sketching.
The first I traced off my pencil sketch with water soluble pen and washed. The second I traced in pencil but haven't yet removed the pencil. I think I will continue to explore this technique more.
I like both!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun the thread sketching. I definitely will make more of them. I'll keep an eye on your blog, think you will make more of them as well!
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out really well! It is a very interesting technique.
