Just a short session doing some sun painting with setacolors last week. It's the next chapter in Art Quilt Workbook. I decided to see what would happen if I used solid color cotton that I had.
The top one on the right is painted on a purple solid. A very subtle effect on this one.
The top left is painted on a blue gray solid.
The bottom piece was done a light gray. You can see the actual fabric color as a gray streak through the center. It almost looks like a landscape, when I was just dabbing and dragging colors around.
Over all the colors come out stronger and deeper when painting on colored fabric.
One final piece painted on to white. I did it in three sections. Love the one on the right with the stems and leaves. Middle one used some foam cut out shapes and some shadowing with paint. I plan to use this section for my theme project. The left section is leftovers....just randomly brushed on paint that was leftover...and then crinkled up just a bit to create some streaks.
Ok, now that I see what I have, I plan to try some more this week, if I can stand the heat.
I worked on another block for the AK quilt. It is based on a photo Deana took of Index Lake. I need to finish up the thread painting on it, but it is looking really good. Think this quilt is about ready to come together.
