A watercolor fashion illustration of a woman wearing a bright orange evening gown with a black lace single sleeve and feathers in her hair. Below is my charcoal preparatory sketch. Before making a watercolor painting I usually begin with a value study in either charcoal or pencil.

The first in a new series of watercolor fashion illustrations inspired by 20th century fashion design icons. This one is inspired by a black wool suit designed by Cristobal Balenciaga in 1951.

A fashion illustration made with richly colored inks – an experiment with texture and pattern, and the interplay between subject and background.

A watercolor experiment with a new color scheme, and a combination of solid lines and soft blur on the female figure.
