In this learning path, we treat 2D wool work as painting, not sculpture. You are not building a form to stand out in space. You are building an image that reads flat, rich, and full of depth.

Instead of adding bulk, you layer wool like brushstrokes. Each pass is a mark. Each layer changes what sits under it. That is where the surprise and the control both live.

You'll begin noticing how light changes color, how shadows create depth, and how just a few wisps of wool can completely change the feeling of a piece.

Texture belongs in the picture, too. We will use fiber direction, density, and light and shadow to suggest surface and atmosphere without turning the piece into a raised object.

Projects range from quick studies that train your eye to slower, painterly pieces with careful composition. Try ideas, revise fast, and keep what works. The practice is what teaches you to see.
