Step-by-step master class on wool paintings, professional advice and ideas for creativity

Painting with wool is another fascinating and very creative kind of fine art. It is becoming more popular, and already on the web there are master classes on paintings of wool with their own hands, creative schools are opened, and handicraft circles introduce this type of creativity into their program. We will not lag behind the fashion trends and try to join the creation of paintings with the help of colored wool.

"Winter Evening"

This MC is designed for beginners, for everyone who wants to get acquainted with the technique of painting art, so anyone who has a sufficient amount of perseverance and patience can cope with the work.

To create this picture we need:

• combed wool ribbon, colors: white, blue, navy blue, sky blue, turquoise, dark brown, brown, yellow, orange, red;
• non-woven 18 * 24 cm for the substrate;
• scissors;
• tweezers;
• photo frame;
• glass.

Each stage is fixed, leaving the work sweat glass. However, this only applies to the "dry" technique: wet felting does not require such fastening.

1. Pulling strands of wool from the tape, we cover the surface of the substrate. We stack them in different directions, the ends of the threads must go to the limits of non-woven fabric by 1-2 cm. Applying the glass, we cut off the excess.

2. Pinching the wool, we form cotton wool for work. Layers create a background, stacking from a dark shade to a light one. We control the quality of the laying of the material, all also applying glass.

3. We create snowdrifts with white strands parallel to the horizon. This technique can often be seen by examining landscapes made of wool.

4. From the dark blue tape pull the strands and twist them a little. Thus we draw silhouettes of trees.

5. Add trees from white wool.

6. We type a fluffy wool mass and, giving the desired shape, we make the crown of the tree in this way.

7. With a thin ring of wool, we designate the contour of the moon. We fill it with woolen down, cut as small as possible. Paintings of wool for beginners often use this technique.

8. From the dark brown and brown wool, cut and lay the coat for the house. Note that the part on the right is darker than the left.

9. A roof for a small house "we make" from a dense white lock, accurately using scissors. Here it is necessary to take into account the direction of the fibers.

10. The lower part of the house is covered with snow drifts, made invariably from white wool.

11. We continue felting. Cut out the windows, add the finest strands of turquoise and blue on the snow. A bit of them must fall on the roof.

12. Let's add the light emanating from the windows with the help of yellow, orange and red strands. They should cover the house a little, which will require the windows to be clarified: again, we cut down and put them in tweezers.

13. Translucent white strands muffle bright colors. The result is visible in the photo. Add picturesqueness with the help of turquoise fibers placed on trees and on the horizon.

The picture is ready! It remains to cover it with clean glass.

Some tips for

1. Try to apply the glass to the picture as often as possible. The final result of the work will be located under the glass, so it will serve as an indicator of the correct laying of the layers, their density, the size of the parts.

2. Warm pictures are easy to fix. The work is done in layers, so you can remove the wrong layer neatly. However, do not be too keen on this - the picture will lose its freshness.

3. If you postpone the work, then finish it, cover it with glass. The work will become much more comfortable when the picture "settles down" under the press.
