Selecting a subject is the first step in
starting this project. Subjects such as landscape, still life,
portrait, abstract, and non-objective types can all be
accomplished with cotton chenille.
Developing a Chenille
Your inspiration comes from a number of
sources- from life experience, photos, pictures, articles, music and
so on--. Look through the sources around you! Is there a scene that
evokes a strong response or a moment that was memorable for
you?
After selecting a scene, you have to
enlarge and simplify it. The key to do this is to choose a focal point
of your scene. Everything else in the scene will be placed so the eye
of the viewer is brought back to this point.
Ask yourself of what is it about this scene
that interest you most? This question sets the stage for your
chenille. Draw this subject on your sketch paper. Omit some
details from your plan. Draw only those details that are important to
you and enhance your focal point.
