365 Days of Art – Day 5 Threading Lightly

Posted on January 6, 2018 by Mama Cormier

….this comes from the first prompt of the new year long course that I am taking with Carla Sonheim

Threading lightly is a technique where you run cotton thread through wet watercolour and randomly lay it onto paper and press it with a brayer. We could leave it as an abstract piece or look for a shape within. I decided to find a shape and discovered this quirky duck. Tomorrow or later in the week I’m going to try this technique with ink and perhaps try a landscape.

  Thanks Derrick. He is a funny little character. I should probably give him a name. Any suggestions?

    Any relation to the terradactyl? I do see some resemblance. 🙂

  Thanks Ann. I didn’t like it at first but then I added more detail and tried to make him a little less grumpy.
