I received some unusual paint colors, along with some small canvases for Christmas and I was in the mood for a little instant gratification. I've been intrigued with creating the image of gathered fabric for a long time. I'm blown away when I see representations of complex fabrics by da Vinci, Rembrandt or Vermeer.
In the portrait of The Girls, I got a start on trying to capture that feeling and was pleased with my first efforts. I kept that up here, but without much "growth" (although the small scale makes detail difficult.)
The colors here are very simple and only include 5 paints (magenta, pthalo blue, titanium white, light turquoise pthalo and cadmium yellow.)
