The dark orange is  close to the terracotta\/red lead colour often used on merchant  shipping, while sitting comfortably alongside the apricot. Then I picked some fragments of  net in a variety of dark colours to help with the rough textures of  the quayside, and navy blue organdie to help create the shade on the  hull.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1013\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blog.virtuosewadventures.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DesignTransfer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1013\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1013\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blog.virtuosewadventures.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/DesignTransfer.jpg\" alt=\"Transferring the Design\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1013\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Transferring the Design<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I chose a cream cotton velvet to make a solid, but pleasantly textured  background, thinking it would make a  pleasant surround when the panel was complete (as you will see, there were some design changes made during the process&#8230;!).<\/p>\n<p>This in turn meant that transferring the design threatened to be an exercise fraught with difficulty &#8211; right up to the point where I realised that since much of the design would be applied in pieces, all I needed on the background velvet was basic clues for placement.<\/p>\n<p>So I traced the design onto tissue paper, tacked it in place, put the whole thing on a slate frame and went over the main design lines in running stitch.<\/p>\n<p>Easy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So here are the final colour choices for the Camberwell Panel, after much deliberation.
