Painting Fashionable Women in Groups

Painting fashionable women in groups.

These sketches were a great challenge because each one involved three women with slightly

different features, and outfits.

How long did I work on each sketch?

I don't know the exact time, but I would estimate 3-5 hours.

Though challenging, it was rewarding in the end.

I was pleasantly surprised with each outcome.

I have completed four fashion groups.

I will now return to sketching and painting one woman at a time for a while.

I imagine that drawing one woman will feel easy after completing the group sketches.

I started by sketching the woman in the middle.

I then sought to sketch the women on both sides around her, and match the dimensions.

I did not draw the sketches exactly as reflected in the photos.

I took a few liberties with some of the clothing, and hairstyles, which was a lot of fun.

When painting, I used watercolor on most parts of the images.

The hair was painted with acrylic, or colored with colored pencil.

I purposely used an array of colors in painting the clothing, jewelry, and make-up.

I wanted the paintings to be eye catching.

I started the group fashion sketches with three women who look like they are posing for the camera.

I did not take a video of the painting process for this one.

Next, I sketched, and painted three women with kinky curly hair, wearing crop tops.

I really enjoy creating textured hair.

I would venture to say that this was my favorite part of creating this painting.

The three women are wearing colorful skirts and crop tops.

The photo is below, along with a short video of the painting process.

The third image shows what appears to be three friends hanging out.

Two of the women are seated, and one woman is leaning against a chair.

I painted, or colored most of the hair on all four images before I filmed the painting process.

I did this because the angle from which I was filming was awkward to paint from.
