"Fashion is something that goes in one year and out the other." (--Denise Klahn)

"On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock." (--Thomas Jefferson)



"Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new." (--Henry David Thoreau)


"To call a fashion wearable is the kiss of death. No new fashion worth its salt is ever wearable." (--Eugenia Sheppard)

Sooooo out of practice--I sure need the time to do some sketching/painting!

These are wonderful water color sketches, Sue. Sure doesn't look like you need any practice, to me! I especially like the Jefferson quote.

Fantastic quotes as always! And the paintings - such great movement!

Laure Ferlita said...

These are wonderful!!

I just adore that second sketch - love the yellow and the movement you've captured!

Hope you've had some time to catch your breath.

Wow these are wonderful sketches. The women seem so confident and comfortable in their fashionable outfits. You've really captured the effect of fabric nicely.

Sometimes what we put on paper doesn't quite match what is in our heads. But these look good to me. Even the little thumbnail instantly said 'fashion' to me. You have the lines and movement in them, that's what counts.

Such wonderful sketches, I'm sure you don't need any practise Sue. I particularly like the first two, the flowing lines of the clothes are so realistic.
