This weekend we’re working in color gradients. With just 1 strand in the needle we "paint" using the shading technique, creating beautiful expanses of stitches that fade into delicate color blends. The direction and "rhythm" of the stitches let you build structure and shape into the motif you embroider. It’s a slow discipline, so the course runs over 2 days, as it’s impossible to rush this form of embroidery. I have prepared some simple motifs on fabric to choose from, not the ones in the photos but ones that are easier to approach in the learning process.
