Work in Progress

I am really loving working on this beautiful satin silk @bowendryden gown.

It is the first time I have attempted to paint it and it is wonderful to discover such a wide range of colours in the folds and highlights, from a bright cool blue to a deep hot orange. The more I look the more it reveals. Bit of a nightmare washing up so many paintbrushes at the end of the day though! Also trying to figure out how to render the subtle weave of the fabric in paint.

She will be heading off to @thedoorwaygallery as soon as she is finished

Sorry forgot to post more WIP of this bit of painted fabric. I think it’s finished now. For those interested the greens I used are olive Olive, hookers, perm enact light, a bit of titanium white and a little Prussian blue.
