Here is the colour wheel I painted with Reeves Gouache. I like precision tasks so I enjoyed this very much. I think I am going to choose green and red for my pair of complementary colours as it is a favourite combination of mine, often seen in nature – think of holly, red roses or a poppy field and it is wonderful how bright red ‘sings’ against a green backdrop. I really love the drama of complementary colours so I am looking forward to painting some papers at the weekend when I have a bit more time.
The purpose of this blog is to chart my progress through Distant Stitch Level 3 Certificate in Embroidery with Sian Martin. The title of the blog is a reference to the tangled threads in my sewing box, but could just as easily describe the myriad of jumbled thoughts and ideas that exist in my head. I am hoping that this journey will help me unravel some of these ideas and translate them into exciting explorations in fabric and thread.
