'Kinn'
|
Commissioned as a birthday present for a person who once lived on
the island of Kinn, where the motif of the painting is from.
I received this photo of the painting via email, and immediately fell in love with the colours. I was looking forward to making this one all the time while I was finishing off some other projects. |
|
The photo was printed out in full colour and hung behind my work table.
I searched through my stash for fabrics that might fit. Batiks are excellent for landscapes. |
|
In Corel Photo Paint I used a filter called Edge Detect to enhance the
lines of the landscape. This was printed in A3 size and then traced the main lines with a
permanent marker.
I used this master for tracing the shapes on Vlisofix, and cut out the different fabrics which were in turn fixed on to a foundation. Sky and mountains taking form here. |

Auditioning sea, rocks, and reflections here.
It helps a lot taking a photo and then seeing it in a smaller format, as from a distance. I had to guess on the details that were obscured by the reflection of the flashlight. |
|
Trying out more reflections in the water.
Since the painting had some heavy outlining, I chose to satinstitch the main features of the landscape, and then free motion stitch the lesser parts. |
|
I added a dark frame before the piece was quilted and bound. |
