How to make fabric disappear
Now this was fun!
Take a colourful piece of fabric and mix and match paints to match the colours.
I started with a piece of cotton and instead of just painting little marks of colour next to the fabric, I decided that it would be much more fun if I tried to make the fabric “disappear” in my paintwork. So with a pencil I extended the fabric pattern and started to fill this in with the paint I mixed. I really enjoyed doing this exercise, although I am a little disappointed. While the paint was still wet the colours matched perfectly, however when dry they dulled down a little. Not sure how to avoid this….maybe mix a little varnish into the paint, to give it a “wet-look”? Hmm…..
