Desert Sunset 1



Desert Sunset 1

 This is a piece I am working on that I am calling "Desert Sunset 1". It may be the first in a series, who knows?

I drew a simple desert scene on black fabric, and then thread painted the scene using bright threads. Next I applied oil paint stick to many of the areas in the scene. I may add some more stitching after the oil stick dries.


Oil Stick Painting Supplies

 These are my oil stick painting supplies. I use various oil paint sticks and oil bars, stencil brushes, and of course an old T-shirt for wiping the brushes and my hands. Sometimes I apply directly from the bar, and  other times I use the stencil to get oil paint from the bar and apply it to the fabric. I like the oil paint sticks because they leave the fabric with a soft hand, and come in a variety of colors and effects (iridescent, for instance).

Once I finish it I will post a photo of this piece.
