Paint Party Friday - Party Dress

Welcome to Paint Party Friday. This piece is called 'Party Dress' and is done in watercolour pencil and crayon on an index card. I was inspired by a little girl I saw in church wearing a a sweet little dress over top of her sweatpants and sweater. It was a bit cold that day, but she was so adorable-looking! I actually based my drawing on a Nordstrom catalogue photo.

    She's adorable and all dressed up for Sunday. I like using magazines and catalogs for inspiration. I think I'll do a few more "fashion sketches", Have a great weekend.

    A dress on top of regular clothing can be pretty cute. The picture came out great. Excellent work.

    I LOVE this! There's nothing like seeing how happy a girl is in new clothes. And you inspired me--I just added a book idea to my middle grade "ideas" collection! Thinking about your girl made me remember my dream as a teen to be able to pick a new outfit every day from a store in the mall and wear it just that day to school.

    my phantom had a dress just like that when she was little many moons ago now... mind you she hated it but it that was because she was in a nudist phase ... it took years to convince her to wear clothes... thanks for the reminder and the lovely sketch
