Description Amazing painted quilts have been taking top prizes at regional and national shows. Paint brings a quilted landscape to life, but if you’re afraid to take a brush to your art quilts, Annette Kennedy will remove the fear factor and walk you through fabric painting step by step. Annette uses two included projects to show you how to add visual depth to your own quilted images. In 15 beautiful HD video lessons, Annette teaches you how to choose, mix and adjust paint colors to get the perfect hue every time. You’ll discover how to turn a photograph into a line drawing, select a palette of colorful fabric, and build a fused appliqué design. Finally, brushstroke by brushstroke, Annette teaches you the painting techniques that turn 2-D fabric shapes into rich and lifelike creations. Her step-by-step instruction will give you the confidence to use paint to make your own quilts stunning.
