This sweater's kind of crazy, and I love that — but it's just
a brushed wood grain pattern, and it's just a rayon / nylon cardigan in a classic shape.
I love working on the
wood because of the
pattern,
grain, and color, so I prime it with a clear gesso / medium, and then I can pick up even more variation in the
brushing, and some underlying verticals to counteract the horizontals.
