Ugandan landscape

This is how the landscape turned out after I made some changes in the fabric:


The tree on the right and the mountain range are the areas where I made the changes. The size is 20"x14,5" and as it is based on a picture taken in Uganda, the title is 'Ugandan landscape'.

Landscape

The theme for |EB's masterclass this month is landscape.  Going through my photo's this is the one I decided to start with. It is a picture taken at Mweya - Queen Elisabeth Park in Uganda. There are a couple of other ones I might use as inspiration later, but this one is on for now.


The sketch I made is this one:


For me is sketch is a simple starting point. What I create does not always look like the sketch :-). After several tries out, this is how it looks now:


I am still not certain about the fabrics I used for the mountains. They still look rather heavy. Anyway the rest is ready for the glue stick. For the tree trunks I used original Ugandan bark cloth, the rest is a mixture of my own hand dyed and commercial fabrics.
And as it is Friday, I am linking this post to Nina-Marie's blog. Check out the link and see what other artists have done this week.

Landscape

This little landscape I made for Katie PM's class. I was aiming for an abstract landscape, but I think it is more a whimsical one. Except the fabric for the left tree trunk, all the fabrics are hand dyed. As usual the size is 12"x12". I am addicted to this size :-). I am linking this post to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday.
