Wearable Art Embellishment

David Albert, creates the artwork for MJAnne Couture using three different techniques.

1. Pochoir - a technique that is similar to silk screening but allows for greater control by the artist to customize every print by applying variations in the colors, tones, and position of the motif. Examples are the lotus, the fern, bamboo, or any other motif designed by the artist. Cost additional to the garment $12.00

2. Stamp - a technique that is similar to wood cut or lino cut. The design is carved into high-density foam blocks then paint is applied using a roller or paintbrush. The artist then applies the motif to the fabric. Examples of motifs used; magnolia flower, swirls or contemporary abstract motifs, eagle feathers or any other motif designs by the
artist. Cost additional to the garment $12.00.

3. Freehand painting - the same technique that artists use to paint on canvas or any other support. Examples are elements found in nature; the birch or aspen tree,cattails etc. or a more complex " Group of Seven" inspired motifs.
Cost additional to the garment $30.00.

The artist uses high quality fabric paint that is heat set for long-lasting wash and wearability. The paintings are signed and dated by the artist.
