It has been a while since my last post, but here I am once again with a quilled riverside landscape. This time I have tried out chrismas trees .
For this project I have used several techniques and concentrated on getting the shapes to fit the element it represents. I think you need not stick to basic shapes but hand make any shape that you think represents the item best.
The whole frame is 3mm thick is 8x11 and I have not layered it to create dimension. I have used dark and light and size to create depth just like in a painting.
I have also tried quilling clouds for this one and have used grey, blue and white to give depth to the clouds.
For the water I have just used torn strips the same as described in Tree & Water. The addition of white gives it a beautiful effect.
I am unable to give a step by step description on how it is done as I change my method and shapes from scene to scene and can't quite tell you what I did once it is done, but what I can tell you is that I have not quilled any basic shapes for this project except for the trees in the horizon for which I have used beehive quilling like I did for Flower Fields and Quilled Tree. Most of the others are hand folded or rolled.
When an idea hits me I just draw the element like for example the tree canopy on a rough sheet and then take a few strips and follow my idea and see how it looks from a distance. If I do like it I will use that idea in the scene. Further, I would use different basic shapes for each tree so that the dissimilarity is clear.
Would love to know what you think as always as you are my inspiration.
Fantastic !!!!! love the way you have done the river and the trees with flowers on the other side of river ..
