The theme at Sunday Postcard Art this week is Winter Elegance. Whilst looking for inspiration I came across a French fashion advertisement from the 1920's showing a woman in a very fine winter coat. Without thinking any more about it I decided that I would paint it.

The more I sketched and painted the more ridiculous the image became. What on earth was being depicted here? They are supposed to be selling coats and dresses! Instead they have a rather elegant lady in high heels perilously close to the edge of a drop, while a man in a car looks on horrified. Love it :)
It is painted on heavy duty card stock using Golden Fluid paints in a lose style. I finished off some pieces with inktensils and coloured pencils. I really should have put more work into the detail, but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
You are so funny Liz...I don't know what she's doing but what ever it is she looks elegant...a really beautiful painting my dear.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fabulous painting, how many stories could we weave around it? Great work.
ReplyDeleteShe does look really elegant but yes, it is an odd scenario :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have captured it completely, Liz!
ReplyDeleteYep...you should be happy. It's a bit mad but very, VerY good!

Beautifully done. I don't think all ads make sense so this is just fine.
