Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

An embroidered tapestry panel showing a young traveller in a red cloak among curling vines and small red berries, worked in coloured wool stitches on coarse natural linen. Individual stitch directions describe the folds of the cloak, the weave shows through the thinner areas, colours limited to dyed wools in madder, moss and ochre. Slightly ragged edges where the stitching ends, the fabric sagging a little, photographed flat in soft light.

Tips

  • 1Stitch direction describing form is what separates thread from paint.
  • 2Let the weave show through. A solid surface reads as fabric printed, not stitched.
  • 3Limit the palette to what natural dyes could produce.
