Woven Watercolour Paintings



This is an old project I found recently. I didn't take photos of many of the finished ones but you can get the idea. I posted this lesson previously yeeeaars ago HERE.

You take two sheets of heavy paper the same size. Draw one picture on one, then trace this onto the second one to get an exact replica. Then paint them using whatever paint you like. 
If you paint them similar colours, you'll get a subtle woven painting. If you paint them using contrasting colours, you'll get a more dramatic, high contrast
 final artwork.

Measure strips on the back of each painting, cut and weave!  This takes time and patience.
