Painting #353 - I think the figure is camouflaged in this work. My efforts were put into painting the folds in the clothing. This design was inspired by an unbranded dress sold on Temu.
What better way to increase your painting skills than to paint daily! On July 11th I decided to paint 30 paintings in 30 days and I successfully completed the journey on August 9, 2010. I am an art educator and thus, chose to post "the good, the bad and the ugly" to provide insight into the learning process. This blog is a record of paintings that began on July 11, 2010.
