Meet your instructor Maria. Embroidery Artist.
Maria Zamyatina is a traveling embroidery artist and amateur sketcher based in Istanbul. Maria's art projects are a combination of her main passions in life—travel and art. Having great curiosity and some experience in sketching gave Maria the idea to add watercolor to her embroideries. She loved the result so much that she started experimenting with various types of paints, fabric, and other media.
Each of Maria’s thread paintings represents a place she has visited and fallen in love with. By adding lots of details and using different media Maria wants to show the beauty and uniqueness of every location in the world.
I created this course to help aspiring artists overcome their fears while making art.
Because that is what thread painting is—not having an absolutely clear plan and trusting the process. With thread painting, you can’t always predict the result of your work but that is where its beauty lies. I wanted students to overcome their need for a clear pattern and learn to trust their intuition and creativity.
