So that the stretcher surface has a perfect look and structure, first prime the stretcher with white gesso.
Download the template and transfer the motif to the stretcher frame with the carbon paper.
Use the awl to poke holes in the contours of the cat motif at a distance of 1 cm.
Now paint the individual color areas with acrylic paint. We have used noble golden acrylic paint in addition to yellow and olive green. Let the paint dry well.
Take an embroidery thread from the black beading thread, thread it and embroider the cat motif into the stretcher using the pre-punched holes. We used the warp stitch for this, but you can also use very simple stitches for "tracing" the cat outline with needle and thread.
