About the book >.>.> The subject of ‘scapes’ is one that we have long wished to explore more thoroughly and share years of experience and knowledge with the readers taking them through processes that reveal our techniques and thought pathways. Since ancient times artists have depicted the world around them in styles that honoured their period culture and personal perceptions. We can gain much inspiration from looking at other artists and their work practices. On the subject of skies for example Constable’s sketchbooks show the acute observations That allowed him to paint them with such accuracy. Van Gogh’s drawings also demonstrate the direct marks that led to his dramatic renderings of skies. Taking one aspect of a theme and following it through the eyes of other artists as well as personal observations and notes could be very rewarding. In this book we demonstrate the importance of exploiting the relationship between observation and the essence of an experience to achieving successful outcomes in stitched pieces. Engagement with the source of fascination is key when working ideas through to finished work. Many UFO’s (unfinished objects) would have been completed if there had been real enthusiasm and excitement for the subject matter. (LL)
