Just trying to get back to the drawing routine. My impression of a part of a painting by Tissot.

The bag of a modern lady – Vivienne Westwood – 1876/2010


To be honest I’m a bit meh about it… Everything is a good experiment and even if it doesn’t turn out as you would like, it’s worth trying, but I think it’s too static… and the face is not very ‘me’. I’m quite happy with the dress though. Especially it’s back

Ha ha, I know I need to get some digital skills, but I just can’t get round to it… All of a sudden though, I tried a bit, and this came out

Victorian lady with a twist. The last sketch I did got terribly spoiled in painting, so I can’t bring myself to start coloring this one
But then again, failure is all a part of the process, so we’ll see soon.

I visited the exhibition in the Victoria and Albert today and really loved it. The only complaint I woudl have is that it’s too small hehe. I could go through a few more rooms like that and spend the whole day there
I was especially happy to see a few Tissot paintings
This one in particular:

I also did a bit of sketching
I feel very inspired after all of it. I’m even thinking of experimenting with new techniques again.

I was watching the new BBC2 costume drama – The Crimson Petal and the White, starring Romola Garai. There is something really interesting about her features and I loved her in other movies. I think I first saw her in Daniel Deronda. I’m definitely hooked on the show from the first episode.
I like how it’s filmed. Quite unusal for a costume drama, especially some effects with light/darkness and colour tints.
And then the set and costumes are brilliant. I love Sugars sense of style, dark and quite reserved.
Oh and the hairdos are amazing! I have serious curl-envy right now
