In the art of needle painting, a needle acts like a brush and the thread as the paint, helping you achieve hyper realistic designs. Learn the techniques of long and short stitch with embroidery artist Emillie Ferris and apply them to the creation of an embroidered Monarch butterfly.
In this course, learn how to embroider realistic images, even if you’ve never used a needle before. Get more confident with your embroidery techniques by completing a pattern and applying them to create your own needle painted designs in the future.
Description
Start the course by getting to know Emillie as well as some of her beloved influences and inspirations. She tells you how she discovered embroidery as an art and how the Instagram community supported her journey.
Discover the materials and skills necessary for learning to embroider a monarch butterfly. Emillie helps you shop for materials and shows you how to transfer a pattern to fabric. Then, learn how to paint with thread and how to select your thread colors.
Now, using the techniques learned in the previous units, start working on your final project. Insects are a wonderful place to start as a beginner to needle painting since they can be very forgiving of mistakes. Their symmetrical nature also makes the entire embroidery process very meditative and relaxing.
In the final unit, learn how Emillie applies finishing touches so that her hoop is ready to hang on a wall, give to a loved one, or share on social media.
