As I mentioned before I am trying to improve my painting and drawing skills.  It was very delightful to paint this little vintage dress using the 'matisse colors' you see below.  This is an acrylic painting on 8x10 canvas board.

'flirty red dress in a blue room' by myra anderson painter of the fashion sketch . . .

As you know, in order to improve my drawing and painting skills I have been 'painting project runway' and 'sketching project runway'.  But this week  - the challenge was to paint 'a little flirty red dress'.   I think this dress looks a little flirty.  I love the bodice!

You know, one fashionista who could have been on the judging panel was . . .

None other than Matisse.  He sometimes painted women with a couture look and a flirty style!
 
So, the next challenge is to paint a dress using the color palette of this beautiful Matisse painting . . .

My little dress using this yellow, orange, blue and light tangerine/pink palette is so cute that I can't wait to finish it!

I'm still working on 'the dress' sketch.  Another artist of 'the dress' is Matisse.  The painting below is entitled 'two young women the yellow dress and the scottish dress'.
