Fashion

During the recent fashion weeks I couldn’t resist trying to capture a few images on my phone. I scoured websites and magazines looking for suitable candidates. I also tried to illustrate tracing from a photograph. As far as fashion goes this doesn’t work for me as well as it might for others as I can’t use my skills – the photo dictates where and how I paint. I ended up looking at the photos and making a drawing or painting from that. Most of the images on the iPhone are sketches, quick recordings of moments. It is all about observation. I hope to one day make large paintings based on these images… We can all hope, can’t we?
