I have long been fascinated by the transparency and colors created by thin layers of watercolor paint applied to paper using the veil painting technique. To translate this technique to pieced fabric and show transparency, I dyed this fabric to create a subtle shift in shades, slowly fading from rich dark brown to a warm grey, intentionally contrasting the soft fabric texture with the sharp pointed trapezoid figures. The straight warm grey quilting lines soften the overall coloration.
