Gimena Romero—a textile artist with more than a decade of experience creating and researching embroidery as an artistic technique—has learned to portray reality using just a needle and thread. With unique stitches, Gimena makes realistic embroidered pieces that are extraordinarily beautiful.
While in the course Experimental Embroidery Techniques on Paper she invited you to explore new mediums, this course teaches you pictorial embroidery techniques using needle and thread to create a realistic image. By playing with color and volume, and using the tools that embroidery can offer, learn how to paint with thread from scratch.
Plus, with Gimena, you can also learn traditional English embroidery in her course Introduction to Blackwork Embroidery and create unique pieces from historical patterns. Or learn to create unique images with a single embroidery stitch in her new course Embroidery Technique with the Stem Stitch.
Description
Get to know Gimena's work and learn about the materials you need to get started in the world of embroidery. Plus, take a look at some of her favorite projects made using the thread painting technique.
Then Gimena explains how to transfer the pattern onto fabric and shows you the technique for preparing your frame to start embroidering.
Gimena gives you some useful tips on creating a color palette, paying special attention to how it works for embroidery. Using the satin stitch, which she teaches step by step, understand the basic concepts of color theory using a color wheel and discover how it relates to embroidery.
Learn to determine the direction of different stitches and define their color to help give your pieces volume. Create gradients with threads of different tones and fill your embroidered illustrations with realism down to the tiniest detail.
