Have you ever felt the need to express yourself through art but don't know where to start? Immerse yourself in an exciting journey of creativity through drawing and embroidery, two silent and universal languages. Regardless of your previous experience, in this course from Dominique Schwarzhaupt, visual artist, you will learn to merge these two arts in a notebook, creating a medium to express your thoughts, emotions and visions in a unique way.
During this training experience, you will explore the connection between drawing and embroidery, two artistic skills that intertwine in a surprising way.
As you progress, you'll discover how to select images and references to bring your drawings to life, exploring the endless possibilities of thread painting. From cross stitch to circle stitching, you'll learn techniques that allow you to add texture and depth to your illustrations.
At the end of the course, you will have built your own sketchbook, a compendium of references and personal works. This course will give you the tools necessary to continue developing your talent independently, and you will have a personal guide to revisit when you undertake new artistic projects.

A course by dominique schwarzhaupt
Dominique Schwarzhaupt, Chilean visual artist, has dedicated her life to drawing and embroidery as languages to express emotions and ideas. Her work focuses on intervening family photographs with embroidery, exploring the nostalgia and universality of these images. Her artistic approach ranges from the thoroughness of embroidery to the creative freedom of drawing, and her work is a testament to how the manual can become a means of reflection and meditation. With a fascination for fashion and visual trends, Dominique creates works that transcend the ephemeral temporality of contemporary images, giving them new meaning and relevance in an ever-changing world.

PlusEs mi primer contacto con Domestika y la verdad un poco decepcionada, interesante el trabajo de Dominique, una gran artista, pero esto yo no lo llamaría un curso, a mi me parece que es una pequeña muestra de lo que seria un a curso. Donde se prenden las agujas se llama acerico.
De todas formas felicidades por tu trabajo<.
Saludos

PlusEn mi opinión el curso esta bien organizado, es didáctico, bien planeado e interesante, si bien ella pone su propio estilo y experiencia, uno puede retomar de sus ideas lo que a cada quien le interese y le agrade.
No logro entender por que ella deja los hilos colgando, deja los hilos enredados y eso da un aspecto de no limpieza, es una opinión solamente, por mi parte yo le daría a mi trabajo de bordado en papel un terminado limpio y cortaría los hilos, es el estilo de cada quien.
Gracias.
