Grab your pearls and put on your party dress! This was a fun challenge. I had to try a couple of different set ups and dresses, the first being a pale pink that was really difficult to paint. Having donated my daughter's other dressy dress, (she doesn't wear ANY dresses if she can help it and I don't have any party clothes) I ended up painting a Halloween costume which has a renaissance feel to it. It was fun. Might be something I want to paint again.

Robin, I really like your dress painting. Love the shadow too.
ReplyDeleteRobin, you're funny. Renaissance Halloween works for me! Gorgeous, rich colors!
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of "models" for this month's Challenge, Robin! Well done.
ReplyDeleteRobin I love the way you so loosely painted this dress, it leaves a lot to the imagination and it makes me feel like it's a piece of chocolate candy with a creamy almond center!
ReplyDeleteoh, yes please use this as subject matter again! I love the attitude and personality of the dress, jaunty and full of life! beautifully done robin!
ReplyDeleteJust new to the blogging site, Robin and came across your work - it's really brilliant, vibrant and original. I paint in oils also but have only ever painted on linen with acrylics. I stuck the linen on board with PVA glue and then primed the board. It took loads of paint but the final result was good. Again, congrats on your beautiful work - Painterliz
