A wool painting is a lovely addition to home decor

It’s undeniable that a home and its décor serve as windows into the personalities of its inhabitants. I firmly believe that a wool painting brings a sense of serenity and homeliness to any living space.

When adorning your walls, a wool painting not only adds warmth to your heart but also brings visual delight to your eyes.

Embellishing your home’s walls with exquisite and inviting felt artworks not only enhances the room’s ambiance but also ensures safety with its fire-resistant properties.

Are you eager to create a masterpiece for yourself or perhaps craft a heartfelt gift for a loved one? In this course, you’ll acquire the skills to do just that.

Diverse effects can be achieved by employing an array of base materials as canvases for your artistic endeavors. While working with wool in this course, you’ll be using needle felting techniques, so there’s no need for wet felting. You can choose from a variety of fabrics that are easy to puncture with a felting needle. For beginners craft felt with a thickness of 1 cm is highly recommended, as it retains its shape well and simplifies the process of transferring your designs.

Throughout the course, you’ll have the opportunity to explore and combine various techniques, igniting your creativity and empowering you to craft unique and captivating artworks.

By selecting the right base, you can tailor your artistic vision and create stunning felt paintings that resonate with your style.

The base of the felt painting can be (for example):

1. Wet-felted with a thin base (requires a frame)
2. Wet-felted with a thick base (sturdy base, frame not required)
3. With a synthetic fiber base (craft felt)

Great news! For needle felting, you don’t need a large quantity of wool; just a few grams will do. While having a wide range of shades is recommended, it’s not essential. You can easily blend and move the wool to create new colors. This technique is covered in detail during the course, allowing you to explore the endless possibilities of color mixing and achieve beautiful results without needing an extensive palette.
