I wanted to try painting on fabric and also thought about stitching into the painting. I have been practicing painting more loosely as I felt the expressive brush strokes lent itself to the subject of a stormy sea. I also didn’t mix the colours up fully on my palette to create lots of different tones and hues. I then went on to add detail by stitching into the fabric to add movement to the painting.
