Painting with fabric
Many students can envision a landscape in their mind's eye, others need inspiration either from nature or from a picture. Some can paint the landscape as they go and others need to refer to a planned sketch.
One doesn't need any specialized fabrics to paint a landscape. There are treasures waiting in your scrap box for painting with fabric.
