#9 'the little black dress #1' myra and modigliani . . .

dress removed
When I have more time I just might research the origin of 'the little black dress'.  Yesterday I attempted to paint a black dress as 'a work of art'.  It was so terrible that (like a 2 year old) I threw a mental tantrum and almost abandoned the whole 'dress project'.  When I sat down (like an adult) to see how I could salvage this dress I drew ONE line and BOING!  It all came together!  Did Modigliani (see painting below) have these problems?  Maybe I will post this dress tomorrow . . .

#8 'the bees knees' dress art, myra and matisse . . .

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'.

'the dress' myra and herschel otto . . .


Here is step 1 and 2 of the dress I am working on right now.
 
The painting below is by Herschel Otto (1871-1937).   I thought the title of the painting was 'three dresses' but I think the title is 'three women'.  In his work Otto paints beautiful dresses. 
Where am I going with my dress?  I do not know.

#5 'the little red dress' by myra anderson . . .


Hello and thank you for visiting!   Using watercolor I wanted to see if I could paint a little red dress.  Next:  I'm working on a sketchy sketch of a woman wearing a dressy dress.
