New Masterclasses

This series of masterclasses offers practical instruction on how to stitch different subjects in Needlepainting Embroidery. Flowers, Birds, Animals, Nature, Landscapes and Portraits in Needlepainting all require a slightly different approach to achieve a lifelike effect, and this is what we will cover in these digital masterclasses. Each masterclass will prove an invaluable source of information to refer back to time and again.

The long awaited Woodland animal masterclasses are now available on my site and can be downloaded as a PDF. In this Woodland Animal series you will learn how to create your own animal portrait from a photo or image, how to trace the outline from the original and how to stitch the different features, eyes, fur etc. You will be shown how to direct your stitches to fit the different elements of an animal. We will also discuss the importance of shading to achieve more depth in your embroidery and why we use certain stitches for different areas of a design. Once
you have completed this project you will have gained the confidence to design and stitch your own woodland animal.
