Fashion Design: Painting and Embroidering Garments

The course starts with Ana María sharing a little of her history in the world of painting and embroidery. Get to know her trajectory, from the first pieces to the creation of her textile design brand Amarpo. Then take a look at the artists who influence her work and everything you will learn in this course.

Organizing your ideas and tools before starting to work is essential. Ana María teaches you how to ask a series of questions to define the theme of your project and find the most suitable elements to compose a mood board. Learn how to choose your color palette and get to know the basic principles and techniques of embroidery and painting.

Then, begin to apply the techniques from the previous step to bring your piece to life. Select the elements to work from your mood board and transform your embroidery into loose appliques, which you can arrange on the fabric in different ways. Then, it’s time to add the paint, making the elements interact in a collage that has balance and coherence.

In the last unit, Ana María shares a series of tips and elements to add value to her piece, such as an impeccable finish, packaging, and care.
