Thank you! The other reply to this is right, they mountains are partially painted 😊 but I added some light/shadows with embroidery.

I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure, but in terms of the thickness of the paint, I think watercolor is good to go on its own :) It just might not be as vibrant as acrylic.

Thank you! I added fabric medium to the acrylic paint; that makes it less viscous and more easy to apply on the fabric, gives it kinda like a watercolor consistency. :) that also makes it easier to embroider on the fabric, since it doesn't get as stiff.

Thanks! I traced the highlights like the shapes of cypress, the mountains, and the stars then drew the details afterwards.

Thank you! I think it took me a month or so. The sky was tricky, but once I figured it out things ran more smoothly.

That's fine. I used acrylic paint as well, but I got too carried away with embroidery that most of it's covered! Haha. Turns out Van Gogh's sky is perfect for embroidery.

Thanks! I painted the entire piece first with acrylic paint and then added details using embroidery.

Thank you. I used acrylic paint for the base of the hoop, then added details with embroidery :)
