Beautiful memory, which is a very good testimony in watercolor.
This is gorgeous Blaga, very well captured. I think draping is quite hard o do well, but you made a wonderful job. All the best. xox
The folds in the clothes are fabulous, Blaga! Lovely scene for a painting, and a wonderful memory!
j'aime ces scenes de vie en peinture surtout quand elles renvoient à des souvenirs
LOvely painting and very interesting post. I am wondering if you will post more paintings from your trip?
Beautifully painted, Blaga and a lovely memory of your trip too!
Thank you, Lydie! This was an interesting and unusual place to see.
Thank you, Jane! I found that using wet-in-wet makes the folds just happen, as long as you time it right, of course. At one point it felt almost like I was painting a renaissance figure ;)
Thank you, Judy! I liked this photo a lot and have been planning to paint it for a long time. The clothes had patterns that made them tricky, but I eventually decided to ignore them.
Merci, Isabelle, c'est vraiment un souvenir pittoresque
Thank you, Cathy! This was just a day trip into the desert part of Tunisia. The other attraction was a camel ride in Sahara. Funny that when you asked that, I was trying to sketch those camels :)
Thank you, Michael!
Hi Blaga, you have well captured this woman during one of her characteristic activities. I like how you paint the folds of her dress. Congratulations!
