This wool painting is neither a watercolour nor a felted picture. It's created using a unique ‘Wool Painting’ or painting with wool fibres technique.
Wool watercolour, as some people call it, is an amazing relatively new technique involves creating a fibre picture with merino wool, silk and viscose. Laying and shaping fibres, blending the colours together, creating beautiful textures and effects allows the Textiles Artist Raya Brown to make wool paintings that resemble watercolour paintings.
‘I very much enjoy the therapeutic experience of working with natural fibres. Exploring the tactile qualities of wool and using coloured strands of wool as one would use the brush strokes gives me so much pleasure’ says Raya Brown, Textiles Artist and Art Tutor from her Magic Wool Art and Craft Studio in England.
