Prom Dress in Watercolor


 
This watercolor painting of a woman in fancy dress is definitely not what you expect for the prom yet that is exactly what it reminded me of.

In these days when a beautiful young and impressionable young lady go to the prom does she need protection?

In this dress all of the beautiful lines are highlighted and still she is protected behind what seems to be armor.

The blues and the purples and the greens are just beautifully laid down on paper.

The technique is watercolor paints and watercolor pencils on high quality cotton paper.

  1. It is interesting how art will invoke different impressions and feelings from different people. Perhaps it is because everyone infuses their own life lessons/experiences... Here I think she looks very vulnerable. Taking the prom analogy, it seems as if she is wearing a beautiful dress but the only thing people see are her naked body.
