What is a good beginner’s project?
A good beginner’s project is one that is not too large in size, does not have too many colors and comes on a larger size canvas mesh (13/14, 12 or 10 mesh). I can tell you from experience that as a beginner you will probably not be attracted toward an appropriate beginner’s canvas. This is because you will see lots of enticing designs with subtle shading and gorgeous colors on small size mesh that will appeal to you because they are so exquisite. A beginner’s canvas when compared to these advanced canvases will seem like child’s play — way too simplistic looking. That’s okay. This is your first project. It’s best to not be overly ambitious. The other canvas can wait. Start with something small and simple. Build your confidence and work gradually toward that 18 mesh version of the Bayeux tapestry.
